rj_andersonThe "country & western" genre and I have long occupied separate spheres, with the kindest feeling on my part being one of polite distaste. I like Blue Rodeo, but that's about as close as I willingly come to that particular style of music. So when I was flipping through radio stations the other day, I would ordinarily have breezed right past our local country station...
Except that they were playing this.
Guess what I've had running through my head incessantly for the past week and a half? And have been inflicting shamelessly on all my friends and relatives, so that they too may share myobsession pain?
I may have to buy the album. It's got nine out of nine five-star reviews on Amazon, how bad can it be?
* * *
But really all of this is a GIP, because I just made an icon out of one of the very few good bits of last week's LOST, and when I'd finished playing around with it it looked amusingly like the cover art for Kate and Sawyer's hit country single (oh, come on, you know they so would make one if either of them could sing, and if there weren't more immediate concerns like mysterious black horses, daddy issues, and self-righteous psycho doctors to worry about).
Unfortunately, with this one I've broken my general rule of not putting text on an icon unless it's legible, but JohannSparkling is pretty, so I don't really care if it's useless. (Which is also how I feel about Kate, come to think of it...)
*wanders off humming "You get a line, I'll get a pole / we'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole..."*

Anyhow, I do like Alison Krauss and a few like her, and some folk music, and that's about as close as I get since my handful of cd's were stolen. The video you link to didn't play well, but the few seconds I got of it seemed tolerable - I don't think I got enough of it to make it an ear-worm, however. I know there are some artists that are pleasant to listen to, but the fear of the twang drives me off most of the time.
And now I must leave memory lane and go to work, where a co-worker will pull out her Garth Brooks Collection and I will continue to go silently mad.... She plays it so softly that I can't really hear it, but when I leave for lunch, somehow the refrain of Devil Went Down to Georgia ends up replaying in my head....

Date: 2006-01-31 12:03 am (UTC)Ditto. In fact, one of my favorite pastimes in college was to mimic for the amusement of my country-lovin' friends a country song in a horrible drawl (the song being about the dog that dun died and the truck that dun broke down, yee haw). Hehehe.
Then I heard a song by Keith Urban on the radio. It didn't sound like country and I liked his drawl. I was sucked in and now I own his first album.
I've been sucked in *sob*.

Kate and Sawyer's hit country single
Hee. They so would.
