Doug Adkins is what country music could have been. Refreshingly, the Havre-born musician doesn’t mimic the vocal style that country dudes have been aping since the Big Hat era of the early ’90s, when Garth Brooks and his ilk cultivated that oh-so-country drawl copped from the genre’s original stars.

It’s as if they’ve been operating in a vacuum, without the influence of the hyper-compressed, market-driven pop drivel that passes for country today.
