DAVE ADKINS, "Right or Wrong," Mountain Fever. 10 tracks
Pikeville, Ky., native Dave Adkins began performing at 8 and was playing bluegrass at Dollywood by the time he was 17.
From there, he worked in country music and later in rock in the Chicago area.
But Adkins returned to bluegrass in 2010 and has found continued success there through the years.
His new album, "Right or Wrong," has already produced a couple of hits _ "Blood Feud (Hatfileds and McCoys)" and "I Can Only Imagine," a bluegrass cover of Mercy Me's Christian rock hit.
And there's a lot more good material on the album.
It kicks off with "Blue Blue Rain," an uptempo song about loneliness and pain.
"Goodbye Caroline" is a ballad about a man leaving with no destination in mind.
"Him and West Virginia" tells the story of a woman who left her man and home to move to California _ and then discovers that she was happier at home.
"Roll Little River" is an uptempo chain gang song.
"Cold In The Ground" finds a man admitting that his demons will get the best of him until he's dead.
"True Love's Just A Lie" is about a man who discovers that the woman he love loves someone else.
"Tired of Lonesome" is about a woman who leaves her husband because she's tired of being lonely.
And the title track is about determining if you've lived your life the way you should.
Good album.
