Easy

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