Gary Bonnett- The Long Road Home


By: Michael W. Coyle

“I’ve been playing smoky barrooms, living town to town” Gary Bonnett sings on “One More Day,” one of the most introspective and beautiful songs from his CD The Long Way Home. It may be a long way home from his stomping grounds in West Virginia to Nashville, but Bonnett doesn’t forget his roots in mid-tempoed, toe tappers such as “West Virginians Are Coming Home” and “Rock Cave,” where he sings “Cause I’m heading back to Rock Cave, West-Virginny-1A, where the people love me no matter how much hell I’ve raised.” But with crowd-rousing songs like “$50 and a Flask of Crown,” “San Angelo,” and “Hillbilly Way,” Bonnett may want to start thinking more globally. There’s not much difference (other than big budget production) separating Gary from the hits topping the charts right now. He’s got the goods, with his vocals and down-home country songwriting, that with the right break he might just be singing about playing in smoke-free arenas in West Virginia. Overall, The Long Road Home is an interested collection of straight shooting country that would make any West Virginian proud.
