Clint Black

Greatest Hits II (RCA) Hunky Nashville numbskull Clint Black has had a lot longer legs than most of the hat pack from Music Row. This disc explains why; replete with pictures of Black with better-half Lisa Hartman and young ‘un Pearl, it’s unobtrusive country Velveeta without hot-dog playing or controversial subjects. “One More Payment,” written with Shake Russell, demonstrates that there could be a great honky-tonk singer in Black’s Dan Post boots. Why is that the only country song on here?
