    His 18th studio LP, 35 mph Town, bypasses the cliches and tones down his sometimes overbearing bravado.

    Where Mr. Keith is truly gentle, though, is in detailing the faultlines of the heart. “Beautiful Stranger” is a sweaty song about rekindled passion, delivered with Teddy Pendergrass intensity.

    Keith went back to the tried and true, crafting songs that fall within his wheelhouse. At the edges, there are some signs of either experimentation or, perhaps, desperation.

    His 18th, the recently released LP is modern country-by-numbers that will satisfy the faithful and mosey on under the radar of anyone else.

    "Drunk Americans" is a charmingly awkward red-blue-state bear hug; the button-pushing title track rues godless youth who need a good whuppin'. Per usual, highlights put hard-earned truths before identity politics.
