Totally Country Vol. 5
Totally Country Vol. 5 by VARIOUS ARTISTS
It's always hip to gripe about
the state of country music,
but this sampler of hits from
the last three years suggests
that this is actually a pretty
good time to be a fan. This
17-track collection sports a
smartly sequenced, forward-looking
cross-section of
songs that deservedly lit up
country radioalongside a
few that
should
have, like
Cowboy
Troy's
chugging
"I Play
Chicken With the
Train." The tunes turn corny
toward the middle, and the
ballads at the end aren't as
much fun, but for the most
part, Totally Country Vol. 5 is totally cool.
