No charity for Faith

A nice rip on Faith Hill's lasted album from The Washington Post, under the title Faith Hillís Crocodile Tears.

This excerpt cuts to the core of it, and also serves as a blanket condemnation of all the soul-less crap being churned out of the Nashville/L.A. star-making machinery:

"The real problem here isn't the credibility of the lyrics, but a lack of emotional conviction that undermines this song and many others on "Cry". The album's 14 songs are the product of more than two dozen different writers and there's seldom a sense of genuine connection between singer and song."

I know, this is like shooting fish in a barrel, but as long as there are amazing and talented musicians and songwriters toiling in obscurity, those fish need to be kept in the crosshairs. Kudos to Richard Harrington for working that 12-guage.
