Lydia Loveless' latest album Nothing's Gonna Stand In My Way Again is old school New Wave C&W, Rachel Sweet and Exene Cervenka meet Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn at the crossroads heading out of town.
What you have here is a thirty minute blind date with Thelma out of Thelma and Louise. Half an hour with one of those tough as tough dames from Texas or Arkansaw who doesn't bend with the breeze and is getting where they want to, regardless of what stands in their way.
These are certainly New Wave AOR Radio guitars. You've heard this many times before but don't pretend for a moment you don't like it. Loveless has a lovely yearning vioce and it sounds like she's mopped up the last of her tears just before stepping onstage and the only way on offer is her way..
