...clarion voice is there when needed, but Plummer wisely draws on it only sparingly. This is a more reflective Henry than we usually see; we not only hear him speaking but also feel him thinking. He is warmer, too; and we are spared the chilly detached efficiency that can make Henry a Fortinbras or Octavius writ large. This king is not merely admirable but actually likable. In short, Plummer gives us Harry as well as Henry. And the reigning king even betrays vestiges of the unrcined prince Hal from the two previous plays, as when he flicks tennis balls...

The R.S.C. was back from the brink again...
...since Columbia issued it in March, is full of rue, muscle and hot sauce. Lacy J. works country territory, but with the bright sass and brass of a newcomer bound to make a mark. Those easygoing steel guitars and refrains about wrung-dry love affairs start to sound like clarion calls when Lacy dresses them for action. With a great many folks already getting her message. Columbia plans to release a second Dalton album in September, and the Academy of Country Music has given her its Top New Female Vocalist award...
