"It might be unfair calling Jessica Simpson's show at the Avalon Ballroom a train wreck. At some point, a train knows where it's going. Simpson, on the other hand, has jumped the rails from pop to country like she's trying on a new coat at Macy's. And while the resulting album might surprise some cynics, this cowgirl seems completely lost and desperate for approval on stage. It made for a bizarre and often frustrating show. Simpson needs to explain in exhausting detail what every single song is about, and the endless banter kills any momentum...It was probably a bad sign that the show started with a taped message from Willie Nelson, basically asking us to give Jessica a chance. She then hit the stage to "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" - not the only classic she'd maim this night, but the most grating...
