EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Sally Timms; Genre: Country

Avoiding Nashville's tacky gloss and the neo-traditionalists' killjoy sobriety, Timms sings old-fashioned country with respect and a dose of deadpan humor. Segueing deftly from old-school covers (Johnny Cash's ''Cry Cry Cry'') to material by the likes of the Handsome Family and Jill Sobule, the singer's voice stands out wonderfully against the understated arrangements. Look no further the next time you need campfire music.
