In a different world, Kelly Willis would be a huge country star. Blessed with an emotional, pure voice, songwriting talent and good looks, she's the whole package and then some. But she didn't quite fit in with the Nashville scene, so she's based in Texas, where she's been dubbed "The Voice of Austin." Her previous albums only hinted at the full scope of Willis' artistic vision, but her fourth full-length release WHAT I DESERVE is the first one on which it truly shines through.

Willis wrote or co-wrote half the tracks on the album, but she's also chosen material by her husband Bruce Robison, Nick Drake, Paul Kelly and even the Replacements' Paul Westerberg. It's her unmistakable voice which ties it all together, whether she's crooning her way through the dreamy "Not Long for This World" and "Time Has Told Me," getting bluesy on "Got A Feelin' For Ya" or tackling upbeat numbers like "Take Me Down." Highlights include the title track and great versions of Westerberg's "They're Blind" and Robison's "Wrapped." Listeners who find mainstream country music too slick and obvious will enjoy Willis' down-to-earth, highly personal take on the genre.

Recorded at The Hit Shack, Cedar Creek Studios and Congress House Studio, Austin, Texas; Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California.

Rolling Stone (3/18/99, p.63) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...just listen to the nuances - the slurred notes, the yodels and cracks in the voice...a classically finessed country vocal..."
Spin (4/99, pp.160-161) - 8 (out of 10) - "...it sounds like it'll be a cold day in TNN hell before she lets anyone devalue her gifts again..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/19-2/26/99, p.141) - "...Willis...artfully meld[s] the strum und twang of her country upbringing with the plaintive grit of roots rock--and throwing in, for good measure, cuts by Paul Westerberg and Nick Drake." - Rating: A
CMJ (3/15/99, p.22) - "...WHAT I DESERVE is as sharp and as affectionate as anything in her bag....the lady can croon like she's the last one standing after a bender at a boozy road house..."
Dirty Linen (6-7/99, p.82) - "...this might finally be the release that brings Willis the attention she rightly deserves."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/99, p.99) - "...Anyone lately taken with Lucinda Williams would be well advised to check this out."

Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On A Gravel Road CD  (1998)

What I Deserve
CD $11.95  4.7 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Can't Let Go" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Williams's fans waited a long six years for this album, as Lucinda went through music business hassles and a revolving door of producers. The reward for their patience is an album full of rootsy, heartfelt observations that alternately rock and mourn. CAR WHEELS is full of songs about loss and longing, like "Metal Firecracker," "Drunken Angel" and "I Lost It," but even when she's bemoaning her own lack of happiness on the bluesy "Joy," she lets loose with so much passion that it seems inevitable she'll find her emotional center again. Produced largely by Steve Earle, CAR WHEELS is immersed in that ...

Faith Hill Faith CD  (1998)

What I Deserve
CD $9.69  4.7 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
FAITH was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Country Album. "This Kiss" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song. "Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals. "Let Me Let Go" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Faith Hill's third album, simply titled FAITH, amounts to nothing less than an artistic reinvention. Hill, not a writer herself, has chosen a collection of well-crafted, weighty songs designed to show off her substantial vocal chops to fullest effect. Songs from top Nashville writers like Matraca Berg, Gretchen Peters and Beth Neilsen Chapman are included, but so is material from rockers Aldo Nova and Sheryl Crow. Such diversity adds up to a wide range of styles, all of which Hill handles effortlessly. The overriding theme of FAITH is love--getting it, keeping it and losing it. The opening ...

Wilco Summerteeth CD  (1999)

What I Deserve
CD $9.55  4.8 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Moving beyond A.M.'s Uncle Tupelo-oriented country-rock, Wilco's double-length BEING THERE explored the sonic vistas of the Stones and Big Star. SUMMER TEETH takes things a step further. A loose, inspired masterwork of rootsy power-pop in the grand mid-'70s tradition, it's the greatest album Alex Chilton never made. With perfect pop melodies and a knack for throwing things askew via left-field sonic elements, this is as far from the country as Wilco could be. Jeff Tweedy's ragged-but-right voice is the essence of rock & roll--the travails detailed ...
Come On Over

Shania Twain Come On Over CD  (1997)

What I Deserve
CD $10.79  4.2 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
"Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. "Come On Over" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Song. "You've Got A Way" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Song Of The Year. "You're Still The One" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Performance and Best Country Song, and was nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. COME ON OVER was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Album Of The Year and Best Country Album. Following her smash hit THE WOMAN IN ME was no easy task for Shania Twain and husband/producer Mutt Lange. With COME ON OVER the sexy vixen of modern country has carved out a bigger niche for herself that is sure to please her growing throng ...
