Details Lead Performance: Travis Tritt; Genre: Country

On The Restless Kind, his most countrified effort yet, the rebel Georgian pairs with producer Don Was for a stripped-down record that shelves the distorted Southern rock guitars for fiddles, Dobro, and spirited vocals. A Steve Earle-ish guitar sound on ''Draggin' My Heart Around'' and an ultra-cool rockabilly shuffle (''She's Going Home With Me'') make for edgy surprises, but Travis Tritt is most effective on ''Where Corn Don't Grow,'' a plain ol' ''you can't go home again'' weeper. B+
