Actually, though the back cover of the disc shows a violin propped up against Melanie Doane's naked back, Adam's Rib isn't anything to get overly hot and bothered about. Instead, the Nova Scotia-born singer-musician delivers sturdy, undemanding pop confections, many co-written with producer Rick Neighbor. The artist's main hook is indeed the fact that she plays a mean fiddle--without her instrument, Doane might come across as just another Lilith Fair second-stager with a pleasant but unprepossessing voice and a handful of above-average tunes. As it stands, her well-timed violin adds hooky punctuation to tracks like \"There Is No Beautiful\" and the third-wave feminism of \"Happy Homemaker.\" \"Waiting for the Tide\" and the title track offer radio-ready choruses, and Doane is capable of a trick or two, as when \"I Can't Take My Eyes off You\" turns out to be an ode to her television set and not a lover. A few weak moments, including the sappy MOR-ish pop \"How You Cried\" and the unremarkable \"Good Gifts\" barely detract from what is a satisfying if not terribly original pop record. Besides, anyone who'd name her version of a traditional instrumental after an SCTV skit, \"Mel's Rock Pile,\" can't be all bad. --Shawn Conner Product description Sex and violins--what more do you need?
