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. Her versions of nifty dirges by Gary Nicholson, Richard Thompson and Matraca Berg are less interpretations than rites of down-home exorcism...
