EVER!

I think some of her countriest material’s on this album. I adore it. Check it out!

I know that Trisha is a huge Ronstadt fan, and Patty Loveless also cites her as one of her influences, (along with folks like Ralph Stanley and George Jones of course)

Regarding the Eagles, their Common Thread tribute album was made for a reason. Trisha participated, as did Clint Black and Travis Tritt, some real Country artists.

Saw Ronstadt for the first and only time in the summer of ’06 at the Westbury Music Fair on LI, a few months before moving to Nashville. At the age of 60 then, she was fantastic. It was Linda’s cover of “Crazy” in 1976 that got me to check out Patsy Cline’s music which I love.

Some REAL Country singers list Linda as an influence.

And by today’s standards, some of the Eagles song sound more Country than some of country’s biggest stars. I think songs like Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take it Easy, Tequila Sunrise, and How Long sound more country than just about anything Taylor or Keith or Rascal Flatts have done.

And I do think Shania is more Country than the Abba comparison warrants, although her kind of country aint my kind of country, I think she does it very well. (plus she is an excellent songwriter)

Her voice makes me cringe too. Regarding Paul’s comment about the Eagles as a “pollutant”, I guess I’m “faux country” (I’m definitely not a traditionalist) because I still play my old Eagles records, loved the Country tribute to the Eagles and “Long Road out of Eden” would be in my top 10 country albums of the decade. Give me Don Henley over Haggard, Jones, Cash, Jennings or any of the old guys. But I still really enjoy reading this blog and Paul’s comments here and on other blogs.
