Jeez, Neal, you've never heard "Swingin'?"
I pretty much agree with Don in this regard - and my "theory" was just a way
of poking a little fun at the idea that there's a Sony-driven effort to
erase history when it comes to the Dixie Chicks - and more to the point, if
a critic is going to go out of their way to label a song as being "from" an
artist, that raises the bar to me in terms of what I expect in the way of
their knowledge. FWIW, I had the same reaction when the HNC cover band
opening for Sara Evans identified "Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine" as a
Kentucky Headhunters song, so it's not just rock critics involved here. Or
maybe I should say, not always rock critics.
And Jim, did you really mean to say that we might be reopening a "taste vs.
chops" thread? It's "soul" that's usually the counterposed term; as far as
I'm concerned, taste (as in, to play with taste) is practically a synonym
for chops <g>.
