No one will mistake this sprawling set for ever following a straight path, or having a remotely dull moment. It's almost as if Beyonce was watching some of the evolutionary leaps and hiccups country has been experiencing as it redefines its boundaries -- as the music always has -- and said, 'Hold my Armand de Brignac. I've got this.'
But it's not just a matter of what Beyonce can do for country music; it's what her concept of country can do for her, in expanding her musical empire and even her already well-honed sense of self. It's a lot.
