Detour

"The beloved Eighties pop queen has plenty of fun on a solid country covers album ... Rather than dully respecting the vintage material she covers here, much of which dates back to the Fifties, she dotes on it, downplaying neither her goofball humor or New Yawk accent".

"All in all, Detour is a bold and exciting move from a true maverick who, throughout all her experimentations, remains instantly recognizable and ever-lovable. This is the great country record that the Del Rubio Triplets never recorded, but thankfully for us dimestore cowgirls and cowboys, Cyndi did. Yee-hee-haw!".

"... on a track-by-track level, Detour has a few stumbles - the biggest is "Night Life," and that's due to the gravelly growl of Willie Nelson, not Lauper - and if it's taken as a collection of performances and not a coherent record, it's fun".
