It could be argued that Billy Currington is enjoying himself just a tad too much on his fourth album. Everything rolls just a little bit too easily, Currington letting his words crawl out in a slow drawl, the tempos never getting any quicker than a shuffle, although things almost get heated on the bluesy closer, "Lil` Ol` Lonesome Dixie Town." It`s such a low-key, lazy record, so consistent in tone that the singsongy chorus of "Love Done Gone" positively blares, that it almost seems slight, but Currington works better when he`s unhurried, sounding relaxed and natural when he admits he`s "Pretty Good at Drinkin` Beer" or when he wishes that his girl loved him like his dog does or when he says with a smile that a "Bad Day of Fishin`" beats a good day of anything else. That last song is the only tune on Enjoy Yourself that Currington had a hand in writing, a stark contrast to 2008`s Little Bit of Everything where he penned roughly half the tunes, but the strength of the album is that it doesn`t sound like it was written by a bunch of Nashville pros -- its mellow vibes and occasional soft romantic touch feel true to Currington. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
