Free Music Notes for Modern Day Drifter
Free Music Review: Solid album, worth every penny.
Hit: 5 Stars
I rarely give anything 5 stars. I bought this on the request of my wife thinking this artist was another "pretty boy" of new-country.
How wrong I was.
For certain, there are your drinking songs and your party songs, but
what sets this record apart from contemporary offerings of other artists is the sincere homage to "real country", while presenting it in modern terms.
There is not a bad song on the record, and "Gonna Get There Someday" is as sincere and powerful as any recording I have heard. Buy this.
Modern Day Drifter Poster
A decade ago, country acts who sounded more like arena rockers gained hegemony on a Music Row that scorned the success of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack as a fluke. As in the past, many there couldn't see the forest for the trees. Both Bentley's own rootsy self-titled debut and Gretchen Wilson's Here for the Party prove quality modern traditionalism still sells. Bentley's sophomore album offers more straight-ahead amalgams of bluegrass, '60s Bakersfield, and raw barroom fare like the Waylonesque "Got a Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" and the beer-guzzling anthem "Domestic, Light, and Cold." He shows real depth on the sensual "Come a Little Closer." The moving, timeless "Gonna Get There Someday," a tale of a son at his mother's grave vowing to make something of himself, easily trumps the album's clich?-ridden title song, as does his fetching treatment of friend Del McCoury's "Good Man Like Me," recorded with McCoury's band. Bentley's lack of artifice proves his greatest strength. Again. --Rich KienzleCountry Music CDs
