Cowboy-hatted Terri Clark struck a jeans-clad, guitar-pickin’ tomboy pose long before Gretchen Wilson turned the down-home look into hillbilly chic. The Canadian singer has always had a twangy, clarion call of a voice. That impressive instrument powers her through, even on predictable, paint-by-number cuts like “Cowboy Days” and “Honky Tonk Song.” Clark tackles the love-life dilemma of a hardworking single mom on the ballad “She Didn’t Have Time,” a happy-ending tale that is as earnest as it is saccharine. She’s far better showcased on the brisk country-rocker “Bigger Windows” and the sober breakup tale “I Wish He’d Been Drinkin’ Whiskey.”
