Right - Not Wrong

(4 out of 5 stars)

"In her first U.S. release, Cash does a more than admirable job. Headed by future husband, Rodney Crowell, he steers cash in a line of old country music with new country style. This was a good launching point for her - at least in retrospect.



The song selections are good and the vocals are more than adequate, but now show how green Cash was to this. She is a much stronger vocalist than this outing allows her to be.



She tackles her dad's "Big River", and does and admirable job on it, but I'm a bigger fan of "Take Me, Take Me", "This Has Happened Before" "Baby, Better Start Turning Them Down" and "Anybody's Darling".



The recording is sub-par though. While it might have been fine for vinyl, it is not a good transfer to cd and the mix comes across as muddied. It was not a huge seller, so I don't see Sony remastering it as they have some of her more commercially and critically successful recordings."
