Sure Love (1992)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Hal Ketchum; Genre: Country

Country realist Hal Ketchum's second Nashville album, Sure Love, isn't as immediately impressive as his first. But he hits his stride on ''You Lovin' Me'' by capturing the morbid desperation of love with a woman who has nothing to give but heartache. Blending Texas lyricism with commercial accessibility, Ketchum scores with the understated urgency of a man on the edge. B+
