Delta Rae — “Morning Comes” (from Carry the Fire) —
Not since Kathleen Edwards tore into town with her brilliant breakthrough “Six O’Clock News” — “she says her baby’s a failer / and she don’t want you calling . . .” — nearly a decade ago has anyone dared to put forth such a potently probing, painfully etched trailer trash tragedy.
