The Times: "The pop hoedown single Texas Hold 'Em remains the best piece, but the acoustic guitar-driven sexy ode Bodyguard is another highlight. Will this finally win Beyoncé her best album Grammy?"

Kiss With A Fist became a sort of witchy hoedown, Blinding opened with a sinister cacophony of whispered incantations, and You Got The Love made ample use of the Royal Albert Hall's "Voice of Jupiter" pipe organ.

Perhaps you’ll be asked to act in a moving-picture show, participate in a mustache contest, take a drawing class, help a gang rob a bank or inspire a bashful Calico resident to ask a lady to the afternoon hoedown.

It’s rocking-chair porch music or accompaniment for a foot-stomping hoedown.

But Roberts’s dance, which will have its New York premiere on April 17 as part of the Graham company’s season at New York City Center, isn’t a hoedown.
