(lol) Not that I'm complaining though as you can't get too much of a good thing... Thanks for the Sunny Sweeney link. I told Sunny back in July of 2010 (twice in fact) that "Drink Myself Single" should be the second radio single, but did Republic Nashville listen to me? NO! There is still a chance for her label to redeem itself by making it the third radio single off of "Concrete" when "Stayin's Worse Than Leavin'" has run its course. Although nowadays I'm thinking "Fall For Me" with a shortened instrumental intro may be the better way to go. Hmmm... Its so nice to see Federal agent types harassing a business like Gibson just to be total douchebags. When are we going to see a Pistol Annies album review here at the engine145? From what I've heard thus far, I'd rather read about it than actually have to listen through.

When are we going to see a Pistol Annies album review here at the engine145? From what I’ve heard thus far, I’d rather read about it than actually have to listen through.

Kienzle did not compare rap to country oral recitations. As usual, he's careful there, and has done his homework. Yep; I’m saying what Jon’s saying.

Not that I'm sure Ralph won't do a fine job, but the musical heritage of Franklin County ("the wettest county") is plenty rich enough to have provided material for the movie soundtrack.

"IMO" is not enough for that job. But please make sure that you're not turning reasonable distinctions into yawning gaps when you do, and that you've got down the history and extent of the talking blues you're calling "spoken word' when ya do.

In my opinion.
