Title: A Wonderful Album With Several 5-Star Songs
Review: An uneven third album, but still dizzying, dazzling and inspired. "The River" may just go down as one of the all-time great songs of hope and inspiration, while "Papa Loved Mama" is an all-out rowdy delight. "What's She Doin' Now" - pop melodrama of the tallest order - testifies yet again to Brook's vocal strengths, while "Shameless" (at least for me) falls flat, subpar even to its live versions. All in all, though, "Ropin' the Wind" stands as one of Garth's finest.
