(Modern) Country music sucks

Check out Steve Earle. His last two albums ("Jerusalem" and "The Revolution Starts Now") are extraordinary.

Was that "I love you, always forever" song from a few years back, sung by that gal with the fuck-me voice, considered 'country' by today's standards? I remember hearing htat incessantly in the gym and at supermarkets.

I think you're talking about Shania Twain there. That song is from her "Up" album which conveniently came with both the "red" and "green" editions of the album.

Nope, I looked it up -- it's by something called 'Donna Lewis'. Whether that's an actual human or some sort of studio-created simulacrum, I can't say. The album is called 'Now in a Minute'.

Btw the only 'modern country' I've really listened to recently was Shelby Lynne, who completely kicks ass. She shared a 'Soundstage' episode with Liz Phair some months back, and made poor Liz look like a pathetic poseur.

Ugh, I know what you're talking about now. They just share similar titles.

I believe Donna Lewis is a person, but I don't think she's ever been heard from since that song.

I will agree with you on Shelby Lynne. She's got quite a set of pipes.
