On his self-titled 2007 debut album, Stephen Cochran stands firmly on the side of traditional country values. Tracks like “We’re Alright (Just the Way We Are),” “Leave My Country Alone” and “Old School” make it clear that this Marine Corps veteran takes a dim view of the slick and the trendy. Really, Cochran’s traditionalism is more akin to that of Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson than the likes of Hank Williams. His affable tenor vocals serve him well on such radio-friendly numbers as “Friday Night Fireside” (a celebration of small town togetherness) and “Two Shades of Lipstick” (an account of romantic shenanigans along the lines of Jackson’s early hits). Cochran tries his hand at the usual country set pieces: the lost-love ballad (“Four Chords and Seven Beers Ago”), the barroom sing-along (“Thinkin’ I’m Drinkin’”) and the tribute to departed country music legends (“Angel Choir”). He’s most successful when he combines yearning with a sense of healing and acceptance, as in “Love Her Like a River” and “Let It Rain.”
