2. "angel boy," tim mcgraw
the most thoughtful, questioning-where-you-are-in-the-world, verging on crisis-of-faith song of 2002 came from a most unexpected source. at the start of the year, I found tim to be a fair-to-middlin' artist (albeit incredibly hot). at year's end, I have a new, delighted respect for his artistry and performance. it all started with "angel boy," a track never officially sent to country radio - perhaps because his label feared it was too rockish? it is, and is all the better for it. "angel boy" asks questions, hard ones, and makes you think about your answers. tim never gives his. simply deep, and simply gorgeous.
