You should know this much, going in: Mindy McCready makes '90's Nashville music. Country-inflected, slick but slightly rocking, big-sounding, American music. Unlike so many of her Nashville sisters, however, McCready seems willing to tackle some real issues: double-standards in relationships, for instance. In pure, clear fashion, she twangs, "Get over it honey, love's a two-way street/Or you won't be a man of mine/Sure I had a few beers with the girls last night/Guys do it all the time."
But McCready isn't all brass and chutzpah. "Have A Nice Day" is unadulterated country at its best, an almost painful snapshot of two people separated by circumstance, yet precipitously close to being lovers. It's a song about what a woman wants to say, yet knows she can't. McCready delivers this tale with power and real emotion. It's a song about a moment, a real-life moment. Isn't that what country's all about?
| | Editorial reviews | 3 stars out of 5 - ...A famously strong-willed personality, McCready favors songs that play on the dilemmas of young womanhood...
Q (07/01/1999)
...[she] serve[s] up a thoughtful program of postfeminist attitudes toward gender equality, love, and lust. That, combined with a fetching voice and winning melodies, makes McCready a welcome--and unusual--Nashville newcomer. - Rating: B
