On Your Way Home (2003)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Sep 16, 2003; Lead Performance: Patty Loveless; Genre: Country

With a risk-taking 2001 bluegrass CD, Loveless not only endeared herself to traditionalists but also won new respect from the Nashville establishment. This follow-up keeps the previous effort's acoustic, grassroots allure but adds honky-tonk electricity to the mix; it's certain to reestablish her as a chart, not just heart, favorite. Cheating, redemption, sex (''Lovin' All Night,'' her hit Rodney Crowell remake), and a dead-grandpa song -- what's not to love?
