Resurfacing on a new label after a three-year hiatus,
Uncle Kracker
also comes back with a new sound on 2012's
Midnight Special
. Cleverly picking up the thread left behind from his easy-rolling singalong hit "Follow Me,"
refashions himself as a country singer, which isn't that great of a leap. Working with producer
Keith Stegall
, best known for his recent productions for
Alan Jackson
and
the Zac Brown Band
,
Kracker
eases himself into a sunny groove, one that has just enough twang and octane to qualify for rocking country radio. Despite these occasional bursts of volume,
is essentially a sunny, laid-back ride, a record made for lazy afternoons of day drinking. All the songs are amiable enough, some even catch in the consciousness, but
isn't an album that commands attention. It's designed to drift along in the background, providing good times during blue skies and Saturday nights. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
