Clint Black burst on the country scene in 1989 as a young buck with his own slant on country, but the rock and pop influence on country music throughout the '90s sees Black looking more than ever like a traditionalist with SPEND MY TIME. Black has never really hearkened back to the days of classic honky-tonk, but the lack of overblown pop production or rocked-up arrangements here makes this album all the more welcome in a sea of country crossovers. Not that there's no stylistic wandering here--"What Ever Happened" bears a distinctly Al Green-ish soul lilt, "We All Fall Down" reveals echoes of the Band, and the simmering, funky "Haywire" is a six-minute, wordy expression of down-home angst that could have come off a contemporaneous Rodney Crowell album. Nevertheless, contemporary country balladry delivered with a romantic-but-careful croon is still Black's stock in trade, and that's what makes up the bulk of this classy album.
