Review

Greg Trooper will never be a big star; hell, he won't even be a small star. Yet, as an everyman roots-rocker, Trooper consistently delivers solid, honest songwriting (good enough to have been covered by Robert Earl Keen, Steve Earle, and Billy Bragg among others) in his husky but unassuming vocal style. Straight Down Rain, the Nashvillian's fifth studio record, is buttressed by the thick-and-meaty production courtesy of Phil Madeira, who successfully pushes the sonic envelope on a number of occasions. Highlights include the fiddle-and-steel honky-tonker "Real Like That" (featuring Julie Miller's harmonies); the humorous, swampy "Doghouse" (which adds trombone, tuba, and drum loops to the mix); and the pretty, Celtic-tinged "I'm Dreaming" (which adds Maura O'Connell's vocals). With taste and charisma, Trooper manages to put forth another endearing collection that achieves its goals, modest as they may be. --Marc Greilsamer
