Synopsis

Amazon.com

This Mississippi singer shows confidence, conviction, and considerable range on an album debut for which deep Southern roots get a slick Nashville production. Fairchild's big voice has a bluesy streak, but she's capable of supplying whatever the song demands. She's "still Daddy's little girl" in "Tiny Town," the seductive "hellcat" of "Ready to Fall," and a would-be biker who embraces Lynyrd Skynyrd and Merle Haggard as kindred spirits on the title track. On Ride's soaring power ballad, the big production of "I Want to Love You" pulls out all the stops, but Fairchild shows her interpretive potential on subtler fare such as "Eight Crazy Hours (In the Story of Love)"--the ruminative reflections of a truly desperate housewife--and the closing, plaintive "Fear of Flying." Whether she's turning up the sensual heat on the opening "Kiss Me" or swaggering through the horn-laden rock of "Down into Muddy Water," Fairchild seems to fully inhabit each song and make disparate styles her own. --Don McLeese

CD Reviews

No copy protected CD's for me

"I like her, but wouldn't even consider purchasing a copy-protected CD. If you can't put it on a MP3 player of any sort, I have no use for carrying around a crapload of CD's. FFFFF SONY!"

CD contains DRM software that opens your system to viruses

Phillip Roncoroni | Manhattan, New York | 11/12/2005

"As many people may know by now, Sony was recently caught with egg on their face when a security specialist found out that a recently purchased CD (Van Zant: Get Right With The Man) from Sony music not only installed DRM software (digital rights management, to limit and outright prevent copying music to certain devices), but it did so in such a sneaky way that it hid itself entirely from Windows, and opened the system up to security issues such as viruses.

This CD has the same copyright protection, called XCP. When installed, Sony hijacks your computer and installs custom software which:

1) Hides itself entirely from Windows by installing as a rootkit

2) Hides itself in such a manner that any files begining with $sys$ are also hidden. For example, if you install the XCP copy protection software on your machine, and rename "document.doc" to "$sys$document.doc" it then becomes invivisble to you forever.

3) Installs its own custom CD-Rom drivers to hijack your system. It also sneakily names these drivers "Plug and Play Device Manager" to seem as if it's a part of Windows. Trying to delete these drivers manually will disable your CD-Rom drive entirely.

4) Offers no uninstall option until you manually contact Sony

As of my writing this review, Sony has "apologized" for this incident, and claims they will "re-evaluate" this copyright protection software on their CDs in the future.

In the meantime, a virus is currently running wild, which names itself begining with $sys$ in an attempt to hide from the user and virus scanners.

Several class action lawsuits are also pending against Sony right now.

In summary, as you can tell from above, Sony's actions here are absolutely horrible. This is your music. You purchased it, and they should not have any right to dictate how you can use it, let alone install software which compromises your system security.

This is one of the CDs with Sony's XCP copyright protection software on it, and as a result, you should not buy it to send a message to Sony that this will NOT be tolerated in the future."

The Copy protection is a malware and can be dangerous.

"This installs rootkit which is malware that is used to hide and mask its existance. It installs itself in your computer and is almost impossible to remove. Attemps to remove it can damage ones computer. Great Music though!!"
