About
The title song of Travis Tritt’s <i>Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof</i> contains one of the great lines of any bar song ever written: “I'm a full grown man, that's plain to see/But nowhere near as full grown as I'd like to be/But I'll find a bar and I'll have a few/Until I'm 10 feet tall and bulletproof.” A country star’s ability to poke fun at himself or herself is always a winning trait. It's never more so than with Tritt, who appears here as someone fully engaged and having fun with his own music. With <i>Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof</i>, Tritt just kept getting better at the things he did best: barroom blues (“No Vacation from the Blues”), Southern rock (“Outlaws Like Us”), and boot-scooting boogie (“Wishful Thinking”). Yet his finest contributions to '90s country were his ballads, which were rich and soaked in R&B feeling. Gilded with Sunday organ, “Walkin’ All Over My Heart” and “Between an Old Memory and Me” achieve a merger of soul music and country music that other country performers could only dream of.
