So Far So Good marked CCM vocalist Kim Hill's foray into straight-ahead pop-country. It's a tasteful set, with ten of its songs credited to Wayne Kirkpatrick, who also produced the effort. Hill's husky, low-voiced alto tends to suggest Mary Chapin Carpenter, especially when wrapped around the tasteful, mature material appearing here. Lead single "Janie's Gone Fishin'" is a brassy country rocker with smart lyrics and a wiry lead-guitar line, and "Is There Any Love Left" nods along on a slight Lyle Lovett vibe, even if it was co-written by Kirkpatrick and Amy Grant. Elsewhere, the wistful tones of "Blue Without You" and "Can't Remember to Forget About You" highlight Hill's warm vocals over solid arrangements, including some nice, bluesy guitar and light, late-night barroom piano on the latter cut. So Far So Good is pretty evocative of the mainstream country sound that dominated Nashville in the mid-'90s; however, it should also appeal to those familiar with Hill's CCM work, as well as fans of adultish, folky types like Carpenter or k.d. lang. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
