Summary: Solid album, worth every penny.
Comment: I rarely give anything 5 stars. I bought this on the request of my wife thinking this artist was another "pretty boy" of new-country.
How wrong I was.
For certain, there are your drinking songs and your party songs, but
what sets this record apart from contemporary offerings of other artists is the sincere homage to "real country", while presenting it in modern terms.
There is not a bad song on the record, and "Gonna Get There Someday" is as sincere and powerful as any recording I have heard. Buy this.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: Dierks is amazing! If this is your first Dierks CD, I recommend 'Long Trip Alone' but don't get me wrong, he's extremely talented and all of his albums are excellent! ;)

Summary: Love it!
Comment: I did the oppsite of most people, I bought Long Trip Alone first. I had that cd for probably two weeks before I went out and bought this cd. I love it! All the songs are so good. Settle For A Slowdown (Track 4) is undoubtly my favorite. I also love So So Long and Gonna Get There Someday. And how can you forget the title track, Modern Day Drifter? I don't think there is a song that fits Dierks better. (And surprisely he didn't write it.) Dierks is great. And I defintely recommend this cd!

Summary: A young George Strait
Comment: Dierks has an amazing voice- something in his voice has the twinge of a young George Strait too. Dierks comes out strong with a strong 2nd CD.
Come a little closer is a great track, Modern day drifter, accompanied by other great tracks. The fiddle, guitar is electrifying in a lot of the tracks, as well as his deep mellow voice. Whether is'a more upbeat song or not- the infusion of George Strait, somber sexiness, and innocent self-confidence of his tunes makes them catching, and singable.
It's a CD I have had on heavy rotation.

Editorial Reviews:

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
