Clinton Gregory / Too Much Ain't Enough

It's been 20 years since Clinton Gregory last touched the Top 30, itself a rare feat for an independent-label artist. In what might be Nashville’s Rip Van Winkle story of the decade, the staunchly traditional singer/fiddler has poked his head out to find - and happily ignore - a Music City landscape altered by young guns packing rock, pop and rap ammo with a new album, Too Much Ain't Enough.

Too Much Ain't Enough's opening track, Too Country for Nashville, slyly addresses the genre's questionable practices and past glories in high-stepping style, setting the stage for a collection of steel-guitar-galvanized, jukebox-ready weepers dominated by women and whiskey - subjects well-suited to Clinton's hangdog baritone. Bridges, a dramatic, penetrating depiction of an alcoholic whose spouse can’t quite repair all the damage he inflicts, is a standout that echoes George Jones in his prime. ~ Country Weekly
