I wish them both the best. I'd much rather hear a Wanda Jackson album produced by JTE than Jack White! That's a 10-4 good buddy.

And if you're not a songwriter, why would you care about whom a magazine aimed at songwriters chooses to interview? You'd be better off putting that time and energy into learning a little more about the music you're trying to save (sic).

General comment: If a magazine--remember those>--or any other sort of pub decides to go a little off its central mission because it thinks the change-up might interests its readers, that's the publication's call. It's called an editorial decision, which are very nice for publications to have. . If they're bad calls and they keep doing it, they'll pay for it and get hurt, or possibly wind up with a slightly changed readership that's useful and a plus anyhow..

I guess I didn't expect that paring, mostly because it had no way of crossing my mind as a possibility. Hmmm…I wonder what a Justin Townes Earle produced Wanda Jackson album will sound like?
