After writing a somewhat negative review for Billy Ray Cyrus’ newest song, I was thinking about a song that I actually really like by him. “Trail Of Tears” is one that I wish could have been a hit. Unfortunately, it had no chance, just because of its bluegrass-ish production alone. It’s a song that he wrote in honor of Native Americans. I’m not sure if there was a certain person who motivated it, but it was inspired nonetheless. The production was great and he sang it with appropriate reverence, without the bombastic vocals. I wish he’d make more music with those qualities.

…stop bashing these soccer moms – they’re the only hope for soccer fans around the globe to see a decent match by a male us-team some day.

In response to Joseph mentioning Trisha’s “Try Me Again” as a song that should have been released as a single: It might have worked, but remember that Trisha almost didn’t even record it because to her it was almost a sacred song because of the writing credit: Linda Ronstadt.

I know you guys will probably hate me for this, but Kenny Chesney “Never Gonna Feel Like That Again” from No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems. Great song and would’ve definately been a hit.

I just thought that I’m surprised Dierks never released “So So Long” from his second album.

From 1996: Bobbie Cryner’s “You’d Think He’d Know Me Better” is one of my all-time favorite songs. It went to #56 but should have been a smash. Lorrie Morgan covered it, but it didn’t touch the original.
