    All of these sounds are familiar, but his light touch means Gunslinger doesn't sound like pandering to the past but rather a cheerful acceptance of the present.

    Detached from the modern country sound to the point of anachronism, Gunslinger is a welcome nostalgia trip for those pining for country music’s early ‘90s golden age.

    Garth here sensibly celebrates simple good times in songs like the twangsome “Honky Tonk Somewhere” and its cutting-loose continuation “Weekend”, where copious location namechecks enthuse that “it’s weekend all over the world”. Elsewhere, “Baby, Let’s Lay Down And Dance” tacks its cheeky proposition onto a “Long Train Running” groove, while the chugging boogie of “Pure Adrenaline” suggests how ZZ Top might sound if they were country.

    Too often here he squanders his effort trying to pump life into flat material.

    It’s a disappointingly ordinary effort that for the most part merely does what modern Nashville product is supposed to do.
