In Brief
Highlights of this Olympics-supporting country album are the Nanci Griffith/Raul Malo/Donna Summer multilingual rendition of “From a Distance” and the Marvin Gaye-like groove struck by Amy Grant (!) and Patty Loveless in “Every Kind of People.” More often than not, sincerity of purpose results in ponderous music-making.
