Although he generally gets labeled as a country singer, the Scottish-born, Canadian-raised Johnny Reid is really much closer to the heartland rock template of Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, or Bruce Springsteen, writing songs that have a sweeping blue-collar everyman feel, depending on sincerity, well-considered lyrics, and a general positive tone to touch home. His latest album, Fire It Up, is easily Reid's most radio-friendly to date, and several songs here, like the anthemic opener and title tune "Fire It Up," the fervent and earnest love song "Dedicated to You," and the wonderful "Baby I Know It," would fit right into the rotation on any adult contemporary station.
