Isn't that the same Diane Warren song that Mark Chesnutt's currently got
out? Not my favorite song...
BTW, one of our local DJs followed the airing of Chesnutt's cut with a
statement that Chesnutt had said he did it because he was tired of singing
cry-in-your-beer songs. Normally, I'd get pretty worked up about that, but
this is, I believe, the same DJ who offered the tidbit that Alan Jackson had
said that he felt that he was pretty lucky, because he didn't think he could
succeed as a newcomer now - leaving off Jackson's further statement, quoted
here a month or two ago, that this was because he was too country for
today's country radio. Hence I wonder if maybe his version of Chesnutt's
comment was, er, edited (f'r instance, "I recorded it because I'm tired of
doing cry-in-your-beer songs that go nowhere on the charts").
