I’m also not high on Terri Clark’s overtly twangy take on “Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me.” For one, she misses the jet-black humor of this Warren Zevon-penned number, which is basically an ode to suicide and rape. For another, it may be redundant to say it, but Terri’s not Linda Ronstadt.

I didn’t like that either, but what I really DO like is that your comment got through the filter! Finally!

Don’t get me wrong, I like Waylon alright but for me personally, Fleetwood Mac is bordering on “Thou Shalt Not….” territory.

I know Little Big Town will cover “Go Your Own Way” and a couple of years ago at the CMA Fest stadium show, Sara Evans did the same.

FYI–there’s a really cool show called The Wilkinsons what aired on CMT Canada for two seasons. It’s a fake reality show, and it’s hilarious, if you can get ahold of it anywhere.
