From "Diggin' Up Bones" to "Look Heart, No Hands," Randy Travis has always had a knack for choosing songs a bit left of center. A MAN AIN'T MADE OF STONE is full of such songs, and they're a welcome change from the ditties that other artists are content to make their stock in trade. The powerful "Once You've Heard the Truth" details that moment in a relationship when all the cards are on the table, while "One Day" describes the pain of rebuilding one's life once an affair ends. Standouts include "The Family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac," the story of a simple man who's discovered the meaning of life in those two books, and "Where Can I Surrender," a brilliantly written song about a love 'em and leave 'em guy who finally wants to make a commitment. The CD also finds Travis stretching the limits of his amazing voice, from his anguished growl on the excellent title track, to his how-low-can-you go delivery on "A Little Left of Center," to his country-style "rapping" on "I'll Be Right Here Lovin' You." Despite its title, on A MAN AIN'T MADE OF STONE, Travis shows he's the quite the opposite: rock-solid.
