Query: Not What I'd Hoped For

I count myself among the die-hard fans when it comes to Emmylou. And like many of them, I was thrilled when she was expanding her horizons with Wrecking Ball. And now she's deservedly fashionable, at least among the cognoscenti; hey there was even an article in The New York Times Magazine.But I find red Dirt Girl disappointing. Yes the "new sound" is still there with its pulsating guitar and drum rhythms. But Emmylou seems to me to fall in the same hole as many other great singers who decide to write their own material. . . lyrics that contain too many cliches, and non-existent melody. Each song on this disc sounds too much like the one that preceded it and the one that follows. There's not one song that one hums after the disc finishes. Maybe I'm a traditionalist or simply narrow-minded, but I like some tunes, especially when there's as radiant a voice as Emmylou's. I have no problem with the dark-hued lyrics, but they and the rhythms don't make for great songs.
