Country music superstars Montgomery Gentry and Cracker Barrel stores teamed up to release this compilation CD to benefit the Wounded Warriors Project, a non-profit organization which raises awareness and enlists the public's aid for the needs of severely injured men and women who served in the armed forces. They also help severely injured armed forces members aid and assist each other, as well as directly provide programs and services. The disc is only available at Cracker Barrel stores or from its website. The 12 tracks contained here are a combination best of and rarities collection, with one completely new track added to the set. The hits are obvious: "My Town," "Tattoos & Scars," "Some People Change,""Daddy Won't Sell the Farm," "She Loved Me," etc. A few of these cuts have appeared on an earlier greatest-hits package issued by the band's label and, of course there are individual album cuts. But the real interest here lies in the rarities of sorts: There's the raucous Southern rock meets arena rock take on Bon Jovi's "Wanted: Dead or Alive," that appeared on the Dancin' with Thunder: The Official Music of the PBR (that's "Professional Bull Riders" folks). The razor sharp guitar and drum whomp of "Just Got Paid," from Sharp Dressed Men: A Tribute to ZZ Top, and the midtempo ballad "Didn't I," off the We Were Soldiers soundtrack. The new track, "One of Those Days," is along the lines of "Some People Change," lyrically. It's a story song where the protagonists rise from the ashes with hope renewed, bloodied but unbowed. Musically, the track has that slow building architecture where a dramatic moment is both promised and delivered. It's modern country as modern theater, and it works as a single. Fans will no doubt be delighted by this set because it collects the tracks that have been difficult to come by as well as old favorites. For the newcomer it's a decent introduction to Montgomery Gentry; and for the socially conscious music fan, this set helps some of those who served us who now find themselves in uncertain and difficult circumstances.
