Crooked County's 'Drunkard's Lament' is more than a solid 15-song collection of drinking songs. The songs that you'll hear on Crooked County's second full-length release are heartfelt songs that tell stories about real people with real emotions. These are honest and more than often heart-breaking songs that sketch the lives of hardworking men in a beautiful way. Given that 'Drunkard's Lament' doesn't come as a trademark in country rock and Crooked County isn't groundbreaking or crossing any musical borders, there is surely something unique and refreshing about the way they easily combine soulful bluegrass-style harmonies with rough honkytonk country music. Such fine crafted ballads as 'Kentucky' and 'True Evil' are irresistible to anyone with a good ear. Though it's very easy to overlook these gems, because the music is rich, and there is plenty to explore on 'Drunkard's Lament'. This is an album that gets better with every time that you put this in your CD player. Crooked County also prove again that country music can be endlessly reinvented, but that doesn't come as a surprise. More surprising is the unusual lineup of Crooked County: Songwriter Toby Purnell is joined by his brother Jason, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Merrie Sloan, and two drummers. The vocal styles of Toby Purnell and Merrie Sloan work very well, and the instrumentation is as big as you would expect it to be from such a lineup of excellent musicians.
