A thirty-year-old Phoenix native with a posh suburban tenor, Bentley can liken himself, as he does here on the rolling "Hope for Me Yet," to "a worn-out pair of boots." Why? Because his music sustains one rugged country sound, a real down-home mix of honky-tonk directness and fluid Nashville virtuosity. Aside from the gorgeous gospel of "The Heaven I'm Headed To," these road songs lack the rascally attitude of Bentley's knockout 2005 singles. But that hot sound, a Bud Lite or two fancier here, remains.
