Artist:
Kelly Willis
Willis is blessed with traffic-stopping looks and a strong, earthy voice, but after more than a decade in country music, shes still not a household name. And this effort, though packed with solid songs and a crack band, wont remedy the situation. Her voice soars comfortably across a lazy groove on Wait Until Dark and Reason to Believe, but theres something odd about the way she makes heartbreak sound so damn pleasant. Even on the bluegrass rave-up You Cant Take It With You, Willis seems to hold back. Easy, huh? Maybe a little too easy.
