Montgomery Gentry, “Lucky Man”
The vocal sounds worn down at times, but it works well given the song’s message. One of their better singles, “Lucky Man” is a timely reminder of what it means to be grateful for what you have, even if you still sometimes feel envy for what you don’t have. I’m a big fan of this duo when they’re at their best, which is on smart material like this, not the mindless redneck rave-ups that are all microphone stand-twirling bombast. They’re starting to age gracefully.

Montgomery Gentry is one of my favorite country artists, though “Some People Change” was just OK. This is a good single; “Cold One Coming On” is still their best effort in my opinion. And I kinda like their rave-ups like “Hey Country” et al.
