On these lesser-known McGraw hits, the pop-country superstar alternates between rowdy attitude and melancholy tenderness. "Red Ragtop", an example of the latter, carefully narrates the story of a teenage couple who painfully part ways after they agree that the girl should get an abortion. On "Down on the Farm", meanwhile, McGraw uses a strong backbeat to describe an egalitarian backwoods bash, daring city slickers to keep up.
