Nice to “meet” some fellow Bobbie Cryner fans. Aside from cuts by Trisha and Suzy (and Lorrie remade a song from Bobbie’s second album), what else has she done? Are there other cuts out there I have missed? Aside from her smokey vocals, I thought she was an incredible songwriter and expected to hear her songs for years to come.

Kevin, I think I suggest a “where are they now” feature at one point. I would love something like that with Bobbie.

I loved both of Cryner’s albums including the Dwight duet. My favorite on her first album was “Leavin’ Houston Blues”. I really wish she had mad more albums.

Speaking of Bobby Cryner there is a song on her self titled album called “I Don’t Care” written by Buck Owens. It was a duet with Dwight Yoakam and it was only a little over 2 minutes long. Something about combining those two voices was magical.

With her looks and that voice I can’t for the life of me figure out how she didn’t become huge. I heard stories about a divorce and and a battle with alcoholism but, man, they just don’t make them like her anymore. Vocally, the female version of George Jones.

“My Wild Frontier” from Faith’s “Faith” album is absolutely fantastic.

“Long Distance Lover” from Reba’s “Feel The Fire” album is my favourite track ever.

One of my favorite songs from Martina McBride is a song called “Strangers” from her “The Way That I Am” album. It was so popular among her fan base that it was on her Greatest Hits album even though it was never released. Take a listen:

“Girl Of Your Dreams” by Bobbie Cryner. Love that song and wish it had been a huge breakthrough for her.

“I believe Tom meant that their ability to predict the future was useless, not their ability to have decent songs.”

Ahhh! My apologies. Someone brought up Strait’s ‘It Just Comes Natural” cd, which reminds me of another unreleased gem from it, “She Told Me So.” I loved the lyrical twist in it, and the stone-country arrangement.
