It's unfortunate that Terri Clark gained her highest chart debut with "Girls Lie Too," a hideously cartoonish song that perpetuates stereotypes about the sexes and, by its success, about country music fans. Clark, a Canadian tomboy in a rakish and attitudinal cowboy hat, has always played on her image as an independent female yearning for a relationship as strong as her personality. That worked well on a number of early songs, especially "Better Things to Do" and on the new "One of the Guys." But clearly she's yearned to expand her subject matter, and in recording songs co-written with Kim Richey, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Mary Chapin Carpenter (a live version of their "No Fear" appears here), she nurtured the questioning side of her inner singer-songwriter. Clark has never really fit any kind of niche, and one suspects she's now caught between trying to stay alive commercially and satisfying herself as an artist. Greatest Hits is a colorful road map to the first 10 years of her journey, even as she seems to be doubling back on certain stretches of that highway. --Alanna Nash

Kickin Canadian Country
This album is an excellent compiliation of Terri Clark tunes. This is excellent mainstream country. First off, Terri has a voice with an accent and has also a kind of rough [but not at all in a bad way] quality that is perfect for this kind of music. The instruments play country music but with a rockish edge at times when needed. Lots of good songs. Here they are:

Better Things to Do - a sassy tune telling a guy that she is over him and moved on

When Boy Meets Girl - a boy is about to discover love

Poor Poor Pitiful Me - good Terri take on the Zevon tune

Emotional Girl - good, fast. The singer tells a guy to realize she's got passion and he better be ready to handle it.

You're Easy on the Eyes - kinda gritty and a bit randy. The singer is physically attracted to a hot guy but is remembering that he is trouble otherwise.

Little Gasoline - singer is driving away from some junk in her past and is enjoying freedom.

I Wanna Do It All - uptempo number about living life full bore

Girls Lie Too - Once the listener accepts that this song is not meant to be taken seriously, then it's humorous. It's about women also making excusing and massaging guys' egos with little white lies at times. Not sexist, just joshing.

One of the Guys - singer isn't a pretty, fragile thing. She can hang out with the boys and do the "rough stuff" too.

Very good compilation album of contemporary female country. It helped me get into listening to more country in addtion to the rock and pop I glomed onto as a kid.
