MCA Nashville's
One More Time: The MCA Recordings was released on the heels of the independent success
Kelly Willis enjoyed in 1999 with
What I Deserve. Though it may have appeared after a success, the compilation isn't really a cash in. It's really quite useful, as a matter of fact, since it summarizes her three MCA albums -- 1990's
Well Travelled Love, 1991's
Bang Bang, and 1993's
Kelly Willis -- while adding "Little Honey," her contribution to the Thelma & Louise soundtrack. For anyone looking to catch-up after
What I Deserve, this is an excellent place to go (especially since two of her three MCA albums were out of print at the time of One More Time's release), and it's a satisfying listen in its own right.
