...rendering them in the idiom that he invented, which may explain the shortage of instrumentals or breakneck showstoppers; there is a hoedown finale of "Big Mon" but no "Uncle Pen," "Rawhide" or "Hoppin' John." What we do get is Bruce Hornsby turning in an unexpectedly effective, moody version of "Darlin' Corey," John Fogerty lending the Creedence treatment to "Blue Moon of Kentucky," and the Dixie Chicks showing off creditable playing skills in their duet with Skaggs on "Walk Softly," which has been nominated for a Grammy.

She stares into the void, and then a chill comes over her stricken face--you can almost see the room temperature drop--as the truth collapses on her. She dissolves...
Secrets & Lies is rich in humor, pained or frolicking. Blethyn's Cynthia is an especially voluptuous creation, with her carelessly dyed hair and mincing steps, her metallic, baby-doll voice that calls everyone darlin' or sweetie, her habit of puddling into tears as her life spins out of control...
