The thing that people forget about cheating is that it's so much fun. When I Think About Cheating? may not be the best example on Womack's album, but it's the most contained and the best sung. The aching, arching voices here remind me of aching, arching bodies.

Brad Paisley's explicit traditionalism works against him. His songs with women are often misogynist, his political work is often retrograde, and his humor is borscht belt stale, but his God work is astonishing. A song like When I Get Where I'm Going features his simplest playing and his deepest singing. There is nothing new here, but because it lacks evangelism and does not tie God to the flag, its holiness moves slowly and earnestly. In this age of Bush and Blair, of fake churchgoing and bad pseudo-metal in churches the size of small towns, which look architecturally like Wal-Marts, having something that sounds like this is like a balm in Gilead.
