On 2007's Wild Hope, Mandy Moore gave up trying to compete with the Britney Spears types and joined the coffeehouse crowd. She keeps up the musical makeunder on these country- and folk-tinged tunes. The low-key Amanda Leigh (Moore's real name) delivers on modest pleasures like "Love to Love Me Back," which evokes early Olivia Newton-John. But you keep wishing she had even a smidge of new hubby Ryan Adams' edge.
