...program labels the dramas as "a duet of misplaced ideals," forewarning the audience that American values are to be questioned in these plays at a fundamental level. Such questioning occurs throughout in interesting--if not altogether new--ways...
Charity makes strange stagefellows. SHERYL CROW and LUCIANO PAVAROTTI dipped into each other's arias of expertise for Pavarotti and Friends for War Child, a concert recording that's intended to raise money for children in war-torn areas. Crow gamely attempted a duet from Mozart's Don Giovanni.

If there were no feeling behind it, this double-jointed vocalizing would be only a freak talent. But Rimes either knows the heartsickness behind country songs or can fake it brilliantly. There is a hint of girlishness...
