Although it doesn’t quite match the peaks of All Because of You, Daryle Singletary’s third album, Ain’t It the Truth, is a solid neo-traditional country album. Singletary’s performances are becoming more assured all the time, as is his songwriting. Nevertheless, he relies more on outside writers than his own songs. As a result, the record is arguably his most consistent yet, even if it doesn’t quite have the spark of his earlier records. – Thom Owens
