"Never Love You Enough"
The title tune that kicks off Chely
Wright's fourth album is a typically overwrought country-pop
love pledge, but on other tunes Wright cuts masterfully to love's
twisted chase with anguished musical vignettes of romantic ambiguity.
Women who aren't loved enough ("Jezebel," "Deep
Down Low"), women who are loved too much ("Not As in
Love"), women who've lost their men ("Her"), and
women who want their men to get lost ("While I Was Waiting")
are all topics of the day. Yet Wright brings similar emotional
authority to a pair of songs--"One Night in Las Vegas"
and "For the Long Run"--that celebrate the quiet, hard-fought
intimacy of long-term commitment. To describe Wright, who wrote
or cowrote 5 of these 12 cuts, as a country diva with a graduate
degree in marital counseling is a compliment. For the most part,
she delivers these plaints of romantic anguish and (occasional)
serenity with conviction and understated grace. --Bob Allen |

Reviewer: slnevins59 from CA United States
If you haven't already heard Chely
Wright, or even if you have, you are in for a real treat. This
is by far Chely's best CD yet. Her voice is stronger than ever,
and you can feel the passion when she sings. She wrote or co-wrote
5 of the songs on the CD, 3 with good friend Brad Paisley. These
all have hit potential. Deep Down Low which Chely wrote by herself
is a fantastic ballad. It really reaches down to your soul. Jezebel
is an uptempo romp about getting even with the woman that stole
her man. One Night In Las Vegas, Love Didn't Listen and For The
Long Run all talk about real life and love situations that many
people can relate to. Horoscope and Never Love You Enough are
about relationships, one in which the woman wants to get back
with her man, and the other about loving someone so much that
you would do anything for them. I truely love every song on this
album, and I would recommend it to anyone that loves great music. |
