| | Country Roots CD
Country Roots is a budget-line country music compilation that doesn't offer much in the way of fidelity or longevity. Comprised of scratchy live recordings or phoned-in studio arrangements of songs by Waylon Jennings, Bill Monroe, and Jim Reeves, among others, the collection doesn't include anything that isn't available elsewhere in a superior format. ~ Johnny Loftus

Country Roots CD music
 $15.05 
Speed of Life is the first studio album by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in five years and celebrates the group's 43rd anniversary with three of its original members still intact (and no, the number 43 was not a typo). It also finds them reduced once more to a quartet with the departure of multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Ibbotson. That said, the band has lost none of its immediacy, power, or expert presentation of both original material and songs from some of Nashville's finest. Released by Sugar Hill Records (who distributes their NGDB Records imprint), the group recorded the set live in the studio. Produced by veterans George Massenburg and Jon Randall Stewart, this set sounds inspired, fresh, and like the NGDB has been utterly rejuvenated. It combines the old-/good-timey feel of their concert performances -- without adding American folk or country standards -- and the poignancy of their best studio recordings. Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, and John McEuen were aided on this set by bassist Glenn Worf, guitarist Richard Bennett, and drummer Vince Santoro, ...

Country Roots album
$15.65
Five studio albums into his career, Dierks Bentley has carved a successful niche for himself on the Nashville scene, and FEEL THAT FIRE continues to exploit his strengths. Soulful and real enough to stand out from the cookie-cutter Nashville hordes, Bentley takes cues from the outlaw country generation of Waylon Jennings and Wilie Nelson while remaining catchy and commercial enough to be a regular feature on ...
| | Band Of Heathens One Foot In The Ether CD (2009) Digipak
Country Roots CD music
$12.95
As you might expect from a group fronted by three singer/songwriters, the material on One Foot in the Ether is uniformly strong. The band's principals -- Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist, and Ed Jurdi -- all share writing and publishing credits, and since all three play several instruments, the album boasts a diversity of sounds and styles. The first thing that strikes you is how many of these tunes sound like gospel music. Given the name of the band, it's a real surprise. "Shine a Light" is a mellow, call-and-response number with churchy organ, stinging slide guitar, and an uplifting lyric. "You're Gonna Miss Me" is a blues with a gospel tinge, although the lyric is strictly secular. An odd, stuttering, New Orleans backbeat supplied by drummer John Chipman and rousing group vocals make the track take fire. "Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled" is a love song with a strong hint of gospel and a deep spiritual feeling, a heartfelt expression of sympathy to a friend in need of a helping hand. "Talking Out Loud" is another secular spiritual and sounds like something the Band might have recorded with a vocal that suggests the style of Levon Helm. "Golden Calf" is a swampy field holler that references a famous Old Testament image; the music is dark, ...

Country Roots songs
$13.69 
There are so many ways that this record could have failed. For one, the sextet has only one original member, singer Doug Gray, and given that most of the reunion records of the other great southern rock bands have not held up over time (see Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers), the decks are certainly stacked against the MTB. Despite the odds, and being more than three decades into his tenure, Doug Gray pulls together a surprisingly adept version of the Marshall Tucker Band for THE NEXT ADVENTURE. While they rose to prominence in the '70s on lengthy live jams, Gray knows what put them over the top: easy-on-the-ears country rock with memorable choruses.
With this in mind, the new version of the band foregoes the improvising and delivers one gem after another of gentle, '70s-spirited country-rock tunage. "The Guitar Playing Man" revisits the western groove of "Heard It In A Love Song" and finds Gray in fine voice with a tale of honky-tonk infidelity; "Come Runnin' Like A Friend" is a worn ballad that finds both peace and heartbreak ...
