The rejuvenating cross-generational collaborations are more than a marketing move: this is Franklin's most rewarding album in more than two decades. The queen's long reign continues...
...DEANA CARTER Everything's Gonna Be Alright (Capitol) A queen of the four-minute soap opera sings about lovers and losers--her people are typically both--in a strong set that blends country, rock and power pop. In songs of dreams without fulfillment, hurt without despair, Carter makes a hard life sound beautiful...
