In Brief

Don’t let the first three boilerplate country tunes on this sophomore album mislead you. Things pick up from there with several nicely sketched portraits, set to jangling country-rock, of characters yearning for better things from life and love. If she’s not quite McCready for the big time, she’s getting McCloser.
