Eloquent review. It provides nice background to a song and singer that stayed in my favorites.

One of the few country/new wave crossover songs that still works (compare “Seven Year Ache” with Sylvia’s “Nobody” and notice how dated the latter sounds). Although the song is top notch all across the board, my favorite moment would have to be when the pedal steel enters in the instrumental. Not a lot of singles aimed at both pop and country have the guts to put steel up front like that; usually they’re just mixed low in the background. Very gutsy song, lyrically and musically.

I’ve had this stuck in my head all day today. Perfect timing for this entry, given the news from the past two days. Cash is always classy.

I think “Seven Year Ache” is a perfect example of blending elements from different types of musical genres and still making it a great country song. Still sounds fresh today.

Great single – I remember when this single came out, that it got nearly as much airplay on pop and rock stations as it did on country radio. I’m not sure it would have been played on country radio had it been released two years earlier or five years later – it just barely fit the format at the time it came out

Another great classic single, I love both the original and Trisha’s cover, although Trisha’s voice pulls me in on her’s a bit more. This is really a timeless single.
