Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pop Matters
2005 - Great windows-down-stereo-blasting summer album that also happens to be a good product from Nashville.
-
All Music
2005 - Next time around, maybe he can draw inspiration from the spirit of his idols and put his own unmistakable personal stamp on his music instead of just crafting his record to sound like something they might have recorded.
-
My Kind of Country
2010 - Fortunately, time would prove Bentley to be a musical force in his own right, and Drifter was just another step on the way to Bentley maturing into the resonant genre-bending recording artist he is today.
-
Music Box
Sadly, Bentley is probably the best thing happening in mainstream country music today, but this only proves that fans of the genre just aren’t looking hard enough for good music.
-
The Austin Chronicle
2005 - Its 11 songs are cookie-cutter Nashville fare about beer and pickup trucks (good) and cheating women (bad), and Bentley lacks the gravitas of Alan Jackson or the nuance of Brad Paisley, both practiced hands at reanimating country cliches.
