Musically, "Gung Ho" kicks with raw, straight-ahead instrumentation provided by such longtime sidemen as Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Dougherty. They give radio-ready muscle too much of the material, while also providing a playground for Smith to unleash her impassioned, always affecting vocals. She still has a lot of fury in her delivery, though there's an undeniable undertow of earth-mama serenity that suits her--and this essential set--perfectly.
