Julie Roberts
“MEN AND MASCARA”
RATING: 4 SOUND LEVELS
Julie Roberts’ drawl plays against taut, unvarnished country arrangements on her new disc. Like the music, the top-shelf songs don’t offer any sugarcoating–“Men and mascara always run,” she sings on the title song, one of the album’s many memorable images. There are no “happy” tunes here amid a ton of man trouble; but from facing up to her weakness in “Chasin’ Whiskey” to spitting out a defiant kissoff in “First to Never Know,” Roberts is a full-blooded, utterly real woman delivering one killer cut after another.
