Chrissy's musical mark is not far off from a a sister-golden hair Lucinda Williams. Her designated single, "Don't Do it Alone,"off of her self-produced debut CD, You Never Know, gradually becomes a seductive pastoral drone thanks to self backing vocals punctuated by high coos and low moans. It resembles a Natalie Merchant with echoes of Rickie Lee Jones. Her September 11th tribute song is musically and lyrically the album's fullest song. Overall Coughlin does what most fall short of - establishing a true signature sound throughout her entire CD.
