I do love the Pat Green record. It reminded me a lot of the Luther Vandross hit “Dance With My Father”, but with a lot less gloss.

I will pre-emptively end the e-grudge before it begins, and let you know that “So Small” isn’t in the top 20, or anywhere else on the list. I liked it, but don’t consider it one of the best singles of 2007. Among the four singles Carrie released this year, it’s the one I liked the least.

I think this song is underrated. I love the sentiment and the music production…and Miranda sings the heck out of it, of course.

I know it didn’t have much of a chart presence, but that’s one of the most earnest, well-crafted, genuinely country records anybody has put out in the past year. It’s a song any male singer from Merle Haggard to Tim McGraw would have been proud to put his name on, and yet Pat Green’s performance completely owns it. And while I definitely agree that it the content flirts with schlockness, I think there’s an honesty to the joy that the whole thing exudes.

I mean, it’s not that big a deal…I’m just kind of bummed imagining the sorts of songs it’s going to be ranked beneath. If “So Small” is in the top 20, it may be the beginnings of an e-grudge.
