Like many so-called "overnight sensations," Shelly Fairchild chalked up years of performing experience before hitting the Billboard charts with her Columbia Records debut, RIDE. The one-time star of the Patsy Cline musical ALWAYS and a veteran of several other Broadway touring productions, Fairchild developed an enviable stylistic adaptability and a voice powerful enough to reach the cheap seats. These qualities serve her well on RIDE, an album chock full of both gusty country-rockers and gentle, earthy ballads. A Mississippi native, Fairchild has an obvious love for the blues, as evidenced by the swampy, Bonnie Raitt-like phrasing on "Kiss Me" and "Down into Muddy Water." "Ready to Fall" is a fiery song set to a stomping Waylon Jennings-inspired beat. The album's standout track, however, may be "Eight Crazy Hours (In the Story of Love)," an existential, angst-laden tale of a lonely woman's life-defining day, delivered with a deep sensitivity that is unusual for a debut artist. Diverse and mature, RIDE is an excellent first effort from this promising performer.
