Glad you liked it, Travis.

CMW, I agree. I loved to see the bloggers there.

You shouldn’t have, Leeann.

Astute comments all around on that Scene poll. Bloggers seemed especially well-represented this year, which was very cool to see.

Travis,
I’m thinking that you might enjoy this satirical article then:

wow, they were not too nice to the Chicks/CYH, lol. “You should blame [Natalie Maines] for bringing Fleetwood Mac mania to Nashville.”

And I think the next CYH album will be better than the first. They’ve sang a few of the new songs “Like Fools” among others, and it sounds promising. Will it do better on the charts? Probably not…no radio play, unknown fledgling band except to a few….will still be iffy.

And I am a fan of Sugarland/Lady Antebellum. LA esp is more pop-country, but their songs are still catchy. I wouldn’t say “timeless”, but few artists are nowadays.

As a matter of fact I was. Why the heck did my mind suddenly go to Blake?

I think it’s time for bed.

Ben,
I think you’re referring to Sam’s comment?

I’ll squeeze in on that group hug too if y’all don’t mind. These were some great comments. I particularly enjoyed Jonathan Keefe’s comment with regard to Swift and Johnson. It turns out those two have more in common than I thought!

I can definitely relate to Blake comment as well. I don’t hate pop-country or country-rock, but I would like it more if it could co-exist with traditional country instead of virtually replacing it.

Well done guys.

Although I don’t know whether to blame you or thank you for the large amount of money I spent on music in 2010… :|
