Some singers try to change the world, one issue at a time. Others break hearts, or pack the dance floor, or pose as rebels and outlaws through their songs. Craig Morgan, though, has set a higher goal for himself. On My Kind of Livin', his third album and second full-length project for Broken Bow Records, he moves further up the path he's chosen to follow as an observer of the small, meaningful things in our everyday lives.

The child who deals with the loss of his beloved dog on "Lotta Man (In That Little Boy)," the old farmer and his wife who rediscover their love on "Rain for the Roses," the friends torn apart by tragedy on "Cowboy and Clown" — all the images on My Kind of Livin' draw power from the poetry that surrounds us all in everyday America.
