"So sad to hear of Carlene Carter's drug and jail problems in the new Century. Back in the 80's she put out this interesting set of pop ditties that never get old."

Death by production

"There was a good album inside of Ms. Carter waiting to be coaxed out. Instead producer Roger Bechirian dished up this disasterous '80s synth-pop mush. Several of the songs were used on albums by collaborators Nick Lowe (Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit) and Paul Carrack (Suburban Voodoo) to good effect, with Lowe's fine production. I have all of Carlene's recordings and have been listening to her since the late '70s, but I find nothing in this one to recommend it."
