There is Travis Tritt, whose early affection for the Allman Brothers and the Eagles can be heard in the lush melancholy of his tunes and such spiky go-to- hell anthems as Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares). And there are Carlene Carter and Rosanne Cash, two of country's most valuable and idiosyncratic talents. Cash has an intellectual rowdiness -- cut with an adult dose of rock -- that makes most of this new group sound like Sunday choristers.

What it's like is if Philip Marlowe wasn't such a stupid lush and a romantic but got stuck in Auschwitz, maybe [Raymond] Chandler [author of the Marlowe detective novels] would have been able to write This Way For the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. In that it's kind of like writing as camera, you know--without affectation, without telling us what one feels but only what one sees and hears.
