Matt, I honestly don’t care. You could start writing “The Matt B. Minute” and I’d be fine with it. I just can’t believe you used the exact same title (save for the one word change).

Love the interview with Kitty Wells. At least Sunny Sweeney still sings Kitty’s signature hit when Sunny performs on the Grand Ole Opry.

The Nashville Scene poll results are cool for the most part. Love to see Ashton Shepherd recognized as the most talented newcomer. The question of whether pop chanteuse Taylor Swift is truly a “country artist” is addressed with real insight in the intro article and some of the voter/participant comments, but the answer stll remains “who knows?”.

Great critics poll there. I’m surprised at how much of this music I’ve got on my ipod. If it weren’t for The 9513.com I wouldn’t have known about and come to like Hayes Carll, Jamey Johnson and Ashton Shepherd, among others. Thanks, guys. This blog rocks.

Female Vocalists:
1. Lee Ann Womack
2. Patty Loveless
3. Miranda Lambert
4. Alison Krauss
5. Trisha Yearwood
6. Taylor Swift WTF????
7. Emmylou Harris
8. Jennifer Nettles
9. Kathy Mattea
10. Lucinda Williams

How anyone..ANYONE can vote for Taylor as a singer is beyond anyone. But to have her above Jennifer Nettles? Also, where is the top female vocalist for CMA’s? Is Carrie blacklisted from the poles?

Jim,

Just so you know, I had that in the file and wasn’t stealing your idea. Also it’s hardly a new idea…

SW, you’re not nuts – Bare Jr. was the first person I thought of the minute I heard Caril.

Wow, Roughstock is doing a “Ones to Watch in 2009″ series. How original!

Karlie, They were all-over my list (and I just added them to my ‘ones to watch’ list for 09). While the latter point might have been ‘cheating’ on my part, it probably guarantees one of the 8 profiled will ‘do well.’

Joey + Rory didn’t get much love on the list…nowhere on the album list, barely made it into the duo/group list.

But in other Joey + Rory news, I get to see them this Saturday in a hole in the wall outside of Raleigh. Yesss.
