Kelly Willis is Back Being Blue\, to take a color-coded cue from the title of her seventh album. It&rsquo\;s a shade she wears well\, though long-patient fans might just say: You had us at back. They&rsquo\;ll take a new Willis record in whatever hue it comes\, now that it&rsquo\;s been 11 years since her last solo release\, 2007&rsquo\;s Translated from Love. The Austin-based singer/songwriter has hardly been MIA in the intervening years\, having recorded and toured as part of a duo with Bruce Robison. But she&rsquo\;s setting the duet M.O. aside for do-it-alone mode\, at least as far as the spotlight is concerned (Robison hovers just outside it this time as producer). Hers is a solo voice again\, but it&rsquo\;s not necessarily sotto voce: This is an album of songs about lonesomeness that also happens to be a cracklingly good time. Willis wrote six of the 10 tracks on Back Being Blue by herself\, the first time she&rsquo\;s penned that big a portion of one of her albums without outside assists. That doesn&rsquo\;t mean she&rsquo\;s gone into deeply confessional territory for her &ldquo\;Blue&rdquo\; period.
