With the second volume of the Insurgent Country series, Bloodshot Records broadens its scope to include bands from all over the country. The results give an inkling as to just how many great country and roots artists exist -- ones who are making remarkable music and out there with minimal or no radio exposure at all. The quality of the performances is even stronger than the first volume, and of the 17 artists and songs represented, there are many great tracks. Once again, Chicago's country singer/songwriter Robbie Fulks highlights the set with "She Took a Lot of Pills (And Died)." Detroit's best-kept secret, the Volebeats, turn in a typical low-key but memorable song, "One I Love," and Dallas' Old 97's contribute the rowdy bluegrass-tinged rave-up "Por Favor." One of the collection's other standout tracks, "22," from San Francisco's Richard Buckner, is also the darkest. In chilling literary detail, Buckner's song character describes his suicide from unrequited love, casting a long but compelling shadow on the collection. ~ Jack Leaver, Rovi
