Please god, don't let it be a date with XXX. Fill the XXX's with any number of P2'ers. Sorry, it's late and I'm loopy. NP: Hank Thompson - Live @ the Golden Nugget. JC

Proving that Mandy has infinitely better taste than all those kneejerk alt-country Bocephus-bashers.g You win either a date with Jerry Curry or a chance to be toasted onstage at the upcoming Twangfest. Choose carefully, Tera.--don

That was a pretty long period of sustained good releases. He's quite the caricature of that, though, these days. Bob

Imagine every song *at least* as good as her version of "Planet Of Love," and many of 'em surpassing her singing on that one. It totally screwed up my productivity yesterday. It was all I could listen to yesterday afternoon, and when I got home after a long meeting, I had to play it twice more. Mike's justifiably impressed by the knockout title song -- well, every single other song on it is also an aural treat, and every time I listened, something else about it floored me. Buddy Emmons' otherworldly pedal steel on the closing track just about made me break down and cry like a little girl. I know I'm raving, but dang it, it's *that* good.
