I haven't heard the kickoff yet - I heard most of the single again today; I
expect I'm going to hear it a *lot* more <g> - but that's certainly the
fiddle sound.  Pop sound, I guess; I'm enough of a wuss in some ways to take
it for granted that even those artists and cuts I like that I consider to be
solid contemporary country just aren't going to sound like the "classics" -
even The Key doesn't, in many ways - and it seems to me that this cut falls
right into that category of "reasonable update for the 90s and beyond."
Anyhow, that is some hot steel playing; I'd say it was Garrish from the
tone, but that Paul Franklin is such a brilliant chameleon that I'm not 100%
sure.
