Chely Wright has one of the bluesier voices in pop country, and she displays it vividly on
Never Love You Enough, the impressive follow-up to the singer's gold-standard
Single White Female. Her heartfelt delivery enlivens the sweeping ballad "One Night in Las Vegas," a duet sung with co-writer
Brad Paisley that tells of a loving couple's triumph over forces designed to pull them apart. Wright takes a rock-inspired angle on "Wouldn't It Be Cool," a catchy, singsong tune about revenge on a wayward lover. Her richly hued vocals give voice to a tale proclaiming the power of faith and love on the somber verses and soaring, string-laden choruses of "For the Long Run." Closing on an optimistic note, Wright -- with her warm and soothing voice -- offers her self-penned "Deep Down Low," a folk-flavored ballad that advises listeners to find a balance in life by accepting the blues as part of the cycle of healing. The stories are cut from broadly familiar situations, and when Wright digs deep into their content, the results are soul-deep.
