I could say so much about “Hold Me” finally a singer pointed out the harsh reality that married couples often are considered just that,couples but rarely lovers. And this classic tale of rekindling a lost romance is just amazing, i cant say enough!!!
Oslin is my favorite songwriter of all time, regardless of her limited catalog. And that broadway training of her’s translated beautifully into her country craft!

Sorry for the double post, but I have to say how much I LOVE the spoken intro to the K.T. Oslin song song Cory mentioned.

Now, there’s an excellent choice, Cory. From a largely forgotten artist who is simply magnificent.

How about we got back to the song that was #1 on the charts on this date back in 1989, 20 years ago
K.T. Oslin “Hold Me” what a classic!

Danielle Peck’s new digital album was released and is called “Can’t Behave”, the title track is a cover of Courtney Jaye’s song: “Can’t Behave” and has very well written lyrics, in my opinion, and is very lovable and likable song. Danielle’s voice hugs the song (that made sense in my head), and I would reccomend it to any contemporary country fan, anyone who loved “Bad For Me” (Danielle’s most successful single) or any fan who favors the traditional sound, as Danielle has a very traditional, yet not too twangy voice.

And if we’re talking about the Jo Bros, might as well give you something sweet to listen to after you’re bleeding ears (sorry man), Zooey Deschanel (an actress) and M. Ward (a musician) collaborated on a lbum called “Volume One” as a band called She and Him. Their first single “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here” is so enjoyable and catchy, they’ve got this melody and Zooey has this type of voice that any music genre fan can love.

I’ve never been a big fan of “I Told You So” as a song. I’ve always found the melody to be pretty bland. I have to say that while I don’t like the song much, I like Carrie’s version okay, better than Randy’s. Blasphemous, I know!

I might be wrong, but I’m doubting that there are lot of Jonas Brothers fans here at Country Universe.:)

I haven’t listened to Carrie Underwood’s “I Told You So” much, which would have to do with the weak first impression it left on me. Perhaps if it is released as a single, it can shed this impression. Perhaps not.

I will recommend “Please Be Mine” by the Jonas Brothers (probably to deaf ears). The song is acoustic, which helps to draw out the emotion in it. The Jonas Brothers provide some great harmonies to the song. But the most prominent part for me is the bridge:

“I can’t stop the rain from falling
I can’t stop my heart from calling you”

While these these lyrics are simple, they can remind you that when you love someone, trying to get them out of your mind is as productive as trying to stop the rain from falling: it ain’t gonna happen.

Thom Schuyler, “Who Needs a Hummer?”

Chorus:
Who needs a Hummer?
What kind of arrogant guy?
You’re way too rich, you little son of a bitch
Who needs a Hummer and why?

I’m sorry Brad’s been dissapointing you Leeann. I hope his next album is one you will enjoy as much as “Time Well Wasted”, which I agree, may be his best. I thought “Mud on the Tires” was a great Country song, though I have mixed feelings about the goofiness of the video.
