I am loving a bit of country music (especially ballads) every now and then an even checked the Country Billboard Charts for a while but I somehow stopped it.
Some favourites:
Martina McBride - Concrete angel
Sara Evans - Why should I care
George Strait - You'll be there (This is beautiful beyond belief) and still touches me deeply
Buddy Jewel - Sweet Southern Comfort
Carrie Underwood - I ain't in checotah any more
Trisha Yearwood - Sad eyes
Reba McEntire - Cathy's clown
Reba McEntire - She thinks her name is John (about AIDS)
Reba McEntire - Is there life out there
Reba McEntire - The greatest man she ever knew
Reba McEntire - I know how he feels
Reba's #1s album is really worth getting. Just about ALL of the songs are great. The only thing that's missing is "Fancy" which only reached #8 but is probably her most popular song.
I LOVE a bit of country. I've especially being over satured with Martina McBride recently, her appearance on American Idol and her new album have sent me into Martina overload.
In no particular order here is my Country Top Ten:
Sara Evans - Cheatin'
Dixie Chicks - There's Your Trouble
Martina McBride - A Broken Wing
Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl
Dixie Chicks - Favourite Year
Carrie Underwood - I Ain't In Checotah Anymore
Martina McBride - For These Times
LeAnn Rimes - I Need You
Faith Hill - Fireflies
Carrie Underwood - Jesus, Take The Wheel
I've been rediscovering Pam Tillis' "All of this love" album tonight. It's a joy from start to finish. Will G some of the tracks as soon as the fracas there has been sorted for those interested...
Yeah it's ok, not sure it was worth the 5 year wait though. I think I'll do a Trisha album ranking!
