Editorial Review:
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
Modern Day Drifter Reviews:
Non-Standard Enhanced CD Doesn't Work in My CD Player 
2006-07-14 - This non-standard enhanced cd won't load up on our family cd player in the den.
Great artist. Stupid record company.
A Young George Strait (with questionable hair fashion)! 
2005-05-11 - DB is a young George Strait with a rich voice and a bonus ability in song writing. DB has reverence for old timers like David Allan Coe and Del Mccoury band (yet another compilation is on this album) and the whiskey and beer they drank too. DB's sophomore effort is a nice follow-up to his freshman hit CD. Everything from the mainstream radio hit 'Lotta Leaving Left' to 'Come a little Closer'. I look forward to DB's next 10 albums as he attempts to out do his first couple of CD's. Nice job Dierks. Again.
