Music Review

Glimmer

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Kim Richey; Genre: Country

The Nashville hit writer two-steps into the pop mainstream with could-be classics that demonstrate her knack for melancholy melodies and ''Love sucks but I'll survive'' lyrics. While Glimmer doesn't offer enough variety — too many mid-tempo tunes — Richey's winsome vocals and hard-earned life lessons prove that Lucinda Williams isn't the only local gal making country-pop with musical integrity.
