“Willin’” from the Roadhammers by the way, was a Little Feat cover

Still with Lorrie Morgan…I was never a huge fan but I loved Half Enough, a moderate (?) hit that I never seem to hear anywhere anymore

“Mr. Radio”, a track off of Trisha Yearwood’s 1993 album THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN. This song, a story song about the cathartic power of the radio in a rustic setting, is actually a reworking of a song off of Linda Ronstadt’s 1982 album GET CLOSER. And given Trisha’s unabashed love of Linda’s music, it’s not surprising that hers should sound similar to Linda’s.

What a pairing those two women would make (IMHO).

Do you know if that is the same Willin’ that the Road Hammers cover?

I’ll recommend “Willin’” by Jon Randall this week.

After getting Jason Aldean’s latest album, I wasn’t nearly as impressed as I was with his first, and I didn’t give the album as much of a chance as I should have.

When Relentless was released, I was shocked to find that I no longer thought it was boring monotonous song song that my first impression led me to believe. I also bothered to listen to Back In This Cigarette again, which is the track I recommend.

The verses are pretty dull melodically, but I love the chorus. It’s much more interesting, and it’s one of those melodies that I just love, and he even injects some passion into it. Lyrically, it’s pretty good, with a hook that suggests that putting passion back into a dying relationship “is like trying to put smoke back in this cigarette”.

I have a hunch that the label will be pushing Not Every Man Lives as the next single, which admittedly is one of the best on the album, but I hope they can give this song a shot at radio too.

probably, lorrie morgan’s amazing talent to make a more pop-leaning country tune sound really catchy overshadowed the even more amazing ability to make even the most classic country song sound as if her version was the definitive one.
i just love underrated artists when they sound as good as that.

listen to “where do i go to start all over” – a traditional country-weeper by wade hayes, if you like underrated.

Zach, that is one of my favorite SHeDAISY songs! I think I recommended it here a few months ago, it really is brilliant.
