• When hearing about Dierks Bentley's life, the title of MODERN DAY DRIFTER begins to make sense; the Nashville-based singer spends nearly 300 days a year on the road, playing everything from frat houses to small-town fairs. All this hard work has paid off in spades, as Bentley's sophomore record has that no-frills, worn-in feeling that characterizes the best country music.
  
• Refreshingly free of faux-hillbilly novelty songs and over-the-top sentimentality, MODERN DAY DRIFTER is full of matter-of-fact tunes about everyday situations. "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" is classic roadhouse love-gone-wrong music, complete with a four-on-the-floor Waylon Jennings-style beat and percolating steel guitar. "Cab of My Truck" matches an extended metaphor about the title's subject to a Marty Stuart-esque neo-rockabilly feel. "Good Man Like Me" reveals Bentley's deep love of bluegrass by pairing him with the Del McCoury band for a good-natured hoedown. An earthy and substantial album of bare-bones Nashville tunes, MODERN DAY DRIFTER will appeal to fans who like their country straight-up.
