Chely Wright is really good at figuring out professional narratives--she released Single White Female at the time of Shania, and Bumper of my SUV at the time of Bush's biggest war mongering. Her melodramatic arc here is really interesting, because it allows a conservative, female gendered language to mouth ideas that are fairly radical...If and when she releases tracks about her sexuality, it could be a lot like Dolly and her poverty, or Loretta, but everything sound so rote...

all of that said, try finding her song The River, it's pretty haunting.
