Modern Day Drifter
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 cliché-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 Kienzle Binding Audio CD. Artist(s): Dierks Bentley. Publisher(s): EMI Music Canada. Label: EMI Music Canada.
