Craig Morgan

While he might not have the name recognition of a McGraw or Chesney, Craig Morgan's got the songwriting chops, as this collection attests. Tunes about missing your children after a divorce ("Friday Afternoon"), admiring the inner strength of a good woman ("Tough") or simply celebrating do-nothing days ("That's What I Love About Sunday") have all been hits for Morgan, and the self-penned "Almost Home" was voted "Song I Wish I Had Written" by his peers. But lest anyone take him too seriously, tunes like "Little Bit of Life" and "Redneck Yacht Club" show Morgan can also kick up his heels.
