Despite his growing success, Levi Lowrey announces-just 15 seconds into his self-titled, sophomore Southern Ground album-that he's every bit as confused and unsure of his place in the world as anyone when he sings, "I have tried and I've tried, but I ain't never satisfied this hunger burnin' in my soul" on album opener, "Picket Fences." -- -- His heart immediately laid bare, the 13 tracks that follow are equally confessional as Lowrey explores his own mortality through the eyes of his daredevil children in "Trying Not To Die," and tries to reconcile his faith with his history of destructive behaviors on "I've Held the Devil's Hand." -- -- If he has any intentions of shedding his image as an honest, life-as-an-open-book songwriter, the new album will do little to accomplish that, but Lowrey's sincerity and unflinching willingness to tell his life's story in public are traits he's unafraid to embrace. -- -- "You gotta get to that point where if it scares you too much, don't write about it," he says flatly. "I've tried to say, 'I'm going to scare myself and see what happens. Hopefully the fallout will be worth it.'
