Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was a good thing: five years later Threads, a difficult first post-Warner album, a regenerated Sheryl perseveres in Nashville, in combat mode. The opening piece, Alarm Clock, sounds the alert.

The whole album mobilizes, vibrates and lives. Do It Again denounces false pretenses and exalts the strength within oneself.

The version has dirt under your fingernails: to strum a guitar, it’s rough. Getting your hands dirty, we understand, is the only way to evolve.
