Little Bit of Everything
October 18, 2008
BILLY CURRINGTON
On "People Are Crazy," a briskly strummed country-rock number from the follow-up to 2005's "Doin' Somethin' Right," this genial Nashville hunk handily reduces his worldview to a memorable one-liner: "God is great, beer is good and people are crazy." Billy Currington doesn't do much to complicate that philosophy anywhere else on "Little Bit of Everything," which features plenty of cozy, feel-good tunes about girls in bikinis, guys in pickup trucks and young people in love. ("Every Reason Not to Go," on which Currington begs a lover not to move to a city with cold weather and a lousy football team, provides a touch of picture-perfect melancholy.) Add a few more solos and "Everything" could be Music Row's answer to a John Mayer album: effortlessly catchy, reasonably slow-danceable, totally harmless.—Mikael Wood
