Much like fellow Texan Steve Earle, Jack Ingram has long trod the fine line between country and rock. On This is It, his sixth studio album, he offers up a cover of Hinder’s cheating love song “Lips of an Angel,” as if to prove that even the Nickelback generation has a little ’billy in it. But the disc also boasts an Ingram-penned number that’s sure to make a perfect shout-along rock encore: “Love You,” in which the title verb replaces another four-letter word (“that mother-lovin’ truck,” and so forth). While Ingram also goes for more traditional uplift in the likes of the family saga “Measure of a Man,” he makes his biggest impression with his bite; check out “Great Divide,” about the mixed blessings of disappearing into small-town life. This is It isn’t a classic of the genre, but fans of Earle’s Guitar Town and Robert Earl Keen’s A Bigger Piece of Sky will recognize its kindred spirit.
