Had Neko Case not made a belated splash with her own punk Patsy Cline schtick, Lydia Loveless’ second album would seem astounding.
As it is, it’s still pretty good. Loveless’ holler is just the right side of wrecked and, on Learn To Say No and More Like Them, Todd May leavens the roots rock with chiming guitar cascades, like he’d rather be in Television, circa 1977. Adrian Jusdanis’ sensitive fiddle playing transforms the acoustic closer, Crazy and How Many Women? sees Loveless pen the kind of classic, wounded and fatalistic, country song that they don’t write any more, apparently.
