In some parts of the world, it's always 1974. The deaths of Berry Oakley and Duane Allman still sting, Waylon Jennings and Jerry Jeff Walker are revered, shouts of &Free Bird&!!! at concerts aren't meant ironically, and people still remember who the Marshall Tucker Band were. It's a simpler, better place, and there, Confederate Railroad are superstars. On their fifth album, the unreconstructed country-rockers plow through songs like the sassy &She Treats Her Body Like a Temple& (∧ I treat mine like a honky-tonk,& continues lead singer Danny Shirley) and the self-explanatory story-song &White Trash With Money,& with all the twangy guitars, honky tonk piano, and keening steel guitar that are required for a good country-rockin' time. David Allan Coe and George Jones drop by to lend a further air of outlaw country bad-assedness, and the group even throws in an honest to goodness ballad, the touching &Between the Rainbows and the Rain,& to prove that it's not just a bunch of retro-macho poseurs. Good stuff.
