Doin' Somethin' Right by Billy Currington

Personnel: Billy Currington (vocals); John D. Willis (acoustic guitar); Glen Mitchell, Brent Mason (electric guitar); Paul Franklin (steel guitar, lap steel guitar); Scott Sanders, Smith Curry (dobro); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Michael McDonald (piano); Gary Prim (keyboards); Glenn Worf, David Smith (bass guitar); Eddie Bayers (drums); Wes Hightower, Ray "Chip" Davis (background vocals). The follow-up to his successful self-titled debut, DOIN' SOMETHIN' RIGHT finds country singer Billy Currington lining his rural-minded tunes with more of a pure pop sound, as evidenced on the smooth ballad "She's Got a Way with Me" (featuring Doobie Brother Michael McDonald). Although Currington belts out "I Wanna Be a Hillbilly" on the twangy opening track, much of this record indicates that what he really wants to be is the male Shania Twain. Still, Currington does keep it country on an excellent version of the Kenny Rogers hit "Lucille," showing that he knows how to pull off an impressive balancing act.
