Guide Review - Various Artists - Southern Rock Country Style
The best of the 16 tracks here include Billy Currington covering the Georgia Satellites’ “Keep Your Hands To Yorself,” Collin Raye serving up the Outlaw’s “There Goes Another Love Song” Trace Adkins professing to “Know A Little” (one of 2 older recordings) and James Otto rippin’ through “Ramblin Man.” There are a couple of surprises on the CD, namely Mark Chesnutt proving once again that he’s a country singer only. “Heard It In A Love Song” sounds like it was written for Mark and is the most drastically changed track on this record. Anita Cochran gets help from Jason Sellers on “Cant You See.” While Dusty Drake rips through the fun “Hold On Loosely,” Brian McComas takes us back in time with a great rendition of “Amie.”
While this CD probably won’t win any awards (or sell millions of copies), it is a fun one to listen to while also being a nice change of pace for the artists. Fans of any of the artists on the CD should check it out.
