Feb 8, 2012There's commendable range here, but rest assured, he spends much of Home in his sweet spot--lust.
-
Feb 9, 2012Whether it represents Bentley releasing his inner stalker or not, there is a deep undercurrent of human longing on the album, on the fun and serious songs alike.
-
Feb 7, 2012The result is a solid collection of good time country rockers ("Am I the Only One," "5-1-5-0"), poignant ballads (the heartwarmingly patriotic-yet-personal title track), and contemporary radio bait (the midtempo ripper "Tip It on Back" and the jaunty "Heart of a Lonely Girl").
-
Mar 9, 2012The album also has its share of upbeat songs--pop-rock flavored numbers powered by bright guitar and vocal hooks that have plenty to offer radio, but considerably less to sink your teeth into upon sustained listening.
-
Feb 7, 2012In a country field crowded with smooth pros, Bentley is sweaty and workmanlike.
-
Feb 7, 2012These tougher remnants of the rootsy, down-home Up on the Ridge are enough to turn Home into a record that resonates longer and louder than Feel That Fire even when it shares much of the same radio-ready DNA.
-
Feb 7, 2012Home may be where the heart is, but Bentley was a lot more compelling when he was poking around up on the ridge.
