Here is another head scratching review from our local paper, The Winnipeg Free Press. At least it is short. The reviewer is Aileen Goos. You may recall an equally puzzling review I posted from her a while back on the last Dolly Parton CD. She accused Parton of having "shrieking vocals and shaky delivery" in that li'l beauty. Kelly Willis/What I Deserve Kathy Willis is not diverse, despite what publicity material may lead you to believe. A more apt description would be monotonous. Unadventurous. Or just plain boring. Now, I'm not saying that Willis's performance on her fourth disc is uninspiring, but I've heard more passion at a senior's home on talent night. In fact, Willis's "long-awaited" release so lacks excitement that it's difficult to decipher where one folky, emotionless tune ends and where the next set of droning lyrics begins. The Oklahoma native applies the same whining vocals to all 13 tracks, whether she's singing about the sheer bliss of a new relationship or the intestinal fortitude discovered in the rubble of a breakup.
