Review Trouble with the Truth / Patty Loveless:Patty Loveless has always had an attractive voice, able to turn pretty melodies into hits, but only in the past few years has she acquired the emotional depth of country's greatest singers. That maturity sets the stage for The Trouble with the Truth. Her husband, former Emmylou Harris bassist Emory Gordy Jr. , is the producer, and he keeps the arrangements lean so his wife's stronger, more open voice has room to maneuver. The couple has selected smart, tuneful songs about troubled adult relationships by Jim Lauderdale, Matraca Berg, Gary Nicholson, and Richard Thompson, and Loveless expertly juggles the mixed feelings that accompany so many broken hearts. -Geoffrey Himes.

Review Guitars Cadillacs etc. etc. / Dwight Yoakam:Both the introduction to hard country for an entire generation and a key entry in what became the neo-traditional movement, Dwight Yoakam's debut, Guitars Cadillacs Etc. Etc, was a near-perfect recreation of Buck Owens's Bakersfield sound. "Bury Me" and "Miner's Prayer" are heartfelt homages to Yoakam's real Kentucky roots, while honky-tonks like "South of Cincinnati" remind how many Kentuckians headed to Ohio for good jobs. Most immediately striking, though, are Yoakam's covers-particularly versions of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man" and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire"-which subtly tune up the Bakersfield sound with a rock & roll super-charge. -David Cantwell.

Review You Gotta Sin to Get Saved / Maria McKee:Maria McKee's voice-equal parts Dolly and Aretha-had frequently been great, one song at a time, but it wasn't until You Gotta Sin that this former Lone Justice singer was perfect start to finish. McKee's best batch of songs ever are complimented here by the twisted guitar of Jayhawk Gary Louris, which matches McKee, scream for scream, especially on the closing title track where Maria sends packing the guy she's been chasing all along. She's all over the place-"I'm Gonna Soothe You" is soul, "Only Once" honky-tonk, "I Can't Make It Alone" hard-edged pop-but it all works because McKee has finally reconciled her spirituality with her need for the sensual, over-the-top anthem. -David Cantwell.

Review Not for Kids Only / David Grisman:An aptly named album if ever there was one, Not for Kids Only combines the talents of two legendary performers, the late Jerry Garcia, singer/guitarist of the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman, mandolinist and father of "dawg music", a melding of bluegrass, jazz, swing, Latin and Jewish klezmer sounds. On this 1993 recording, the two devoted friends make seemingly effortless music, adapting traditional and old-time folk into a personalised sound so "homemade" (with jew's-harp and tambourine) as to inspire any child, young or old, to pick up whatever's at hand to play along. From the jaunty rhythms of "Jenny Jenkins" to the cornball humour of "Arkansas Traveller" and the laugh-out-loud lyrics of "A Horse Named Bill" ("I had a girl and her name was Daisy / And when she sang the cat went crazy"), this album, with Garcia's delightful hand-drawn cover art, tickles from top to bottom. -Alanna Nash.

Review A Ghost Is Born [VINYL] / Wilco:On A Ghost Is Born, Wilco singer, songwriter and supreme commander Jeff Tweedy leads his former alt. country colleagues on another journey towards the leftfield, with Sonic Youth's Jim O'Rourke once again handling co-production duties. But in many ways, it represents a slight backstep from the direction hinted at on its acclaimed successor Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. This is by no means a bad thing. Like Lambchop's best work, it's an album that's full of clever experimentalism and understated studio trickery, yet one where Wilco's very human and very organic core is highlighted, most likely because of Tweedy's dusty past with alt. country mavericks Uncle Tupelo. To Wilco's credit, the songs on A Ghost Is Born never suffer from over-production or wilful contrivance. Even on a 10-minute epic such as "Spiders", they manage to keep the listener's interest with a simple, driving rhythm and gradual layers of guitars, before the song bursts forth in the fourth minute. It's an extended jam, sure, but it's never dull-a remarkable feat in itself. In fact, A Ghost Is Born harks back to Wilco's altogether excellent second album, Being There, an innovative and original take on country rock and pop. [+]
That alone puts it up with the best of their work. -Robert Burrow.
