And I must include Mandy Barnett's I've Got A Right To Cry on Sire. This beautiful record is so good country radio won't even consider playing it. I must admit I thought of her as a mired-in-the-past Patsy Cline clone based on what I'd heard and her long-running appearance in the stage production, "Always, Patsy Cline." I don't feel that way now. This girl's voice on this sadly overlooked album is too fantastic to compartmentalize as "retro." The playing, the production, the arrangement as well, are further examples of what Nashville can "secretly" still do.
