		Davis writes with clarity and understanding about her parents' struggle with alcohol, her early career with singing partner B.J. Davis, and her virtual imprisonment by her mother in the wake of a friend's accidental death.
		Skeeter herself is a wonderfully open-minded person, writing with awe of the lovely Buddahist temples she had seen on her travels and pointing out it is not for her or anyone to judge anyone and their religious beliefs (or about anything), that alone is for God to do.

		Usually she sang sentimental, country-oriented tunes with enough pop hooks to catch the ears of a wider audience, such as "I Will." Davis concentrated on the country market after the early '60s, although she never seemed too comfortable limiting herself to the Nashville crowd.

	Skeeter Davis: Bring It On Home
		Skeeter Davis' Bring It On Home -- or, Skeeter's land-o-cover tunes.
		Her version of "One Tin Soldier" is a bit of a disappointment: it shows where her political sympathies lay, but suffers from the same rinky-dink powder-puff pop sound as the rest of the album.
		Chet Atkins' arrangement of "He Loved Me Too Little, Too Late" provides scant respite from Ronny Light's perky production -- in fact, it's a Skeeter Davis original, "All I Ever Wanted Was Love" that's the standout on this disc.
