Gettin' Out the Good Stuff

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: David Lee Murphy; Genre: Country

David Lee Murphy may call himself a genuine redneck on one of the album's songs, but it's really a rocker's heart that beats on Gettin' Out the Good Stuff. As on his debut, this fist-in-the-glove follow-up finds different ways of getting at familiar tales, especially the loneliness of the restless misfit, ''born with the gift of a hard way to go.'' Think of Steve Earle without the danger, the anger, or the poetry. B
