...Patty Loveless The Trouble with the Truth (Epic). The title may imply some kind of emotional hesitancy, but this hardscrabble country diva has no trouble whatsoever singing about betrayal, abuse, loneliness--and the against-all-odds will to survive.

...ends with Tony Arata's poignant, hymnlike Someday I Will Lead the Parade. The "someday" is, of course, after death. But Loveless doesn't have to wait that long. She already leads the parade of country's lost souls and lonesome cowgirls. She keeps them in step, hearts heavy, heads high, singing all the way to the brink...
