Yo Kelly, I don’t like a lot of her “poppier” sounding music, but I do enjoy the unique characteristics that her voice possesses. I’m by no means a Dolly expert, but I think The Essential Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton displays how great she can be at her best.

That review is hilarious. I’m sorry, I can see the Village Voice reviewing Wilco or even Dale Watson but them reviewing a mainstream Country album is hilarious.

I dont see why CRS would even invite Sean Hannity as the keynote speaker. Yeah, the guy plays bits of Country songs on his radio show (I have been told, I cant stand him so i dont listen to him) but it just seems odd. Rather than inviting some blowhard political commentator, why not invite “legendary” radio voices to be the keynote speaker? Pay tribute to the past while hearing the songs of the future. I guess that would make too much sense.

I dont see anyone connected to that trainwreck Gone Country being on radio very long. Thankfully.

The McGraw family now basically controls sporting theme songs.

Watched some kids get stuck in an elevator once, only a minute earlier they were trying to convince me to get into the elevator but I was well aware it was over the weight limit. So I walk up 14 flights of stairs and find them stuck between the 13th and 14th floor…. and guess who had to get them out. It was still funny though!

Iglesias’s music is a far-cry from country. I don’t want to hear it on my stations, and I’m confident I won’t. If he wants to make it in music, fine by me - but put him in pop or adult contemporary where his sound fits in. At least give him a chance. But I think he’ll more than likely still be overshadowed by his brother.

I’m fairly confident I remember hearing Martina had some sort of doll made… but did Reba too? Anybody know for sure? Just think how awful it would be if they made your toy with lead paint and it ended up being the toy featured in all the news broadcasts. Then again, think how well a George Strait Team Roping action figure would sell at tractor and farm surplus stores.

Parton’s tribute to Wagoner is fitting, great way to pay respect. It will also help people remember the good times if they were Porter fans.

Okay, I am just gonna say it. Every so often I see that I just “dont get” something or someone that everyone else seems to “get”. Dolly is at the top of that list for me. I just dont get her, and havent at any point, ever truly enjoyed her work. I dont have a bad thing to say about her per se and I dont think she sucks. I just dont see what everyone else seems to see when it comes to her being so great. Bring it on!!!

stuck on an elevator with montgomery & gentry? is there a clearer definition of hell? i think not.

if someone had really been on the ball, they would have taken the opportunity to go out and find a bear to take a few free shots at gentry while he was an easy target. see how he likes it.

re:Dolly Planning Musical Tribute to Porter Wagoner - That is great news. I can’t wait to see what she does to honor her collaborator and teacher.

re: The Village Voice’s review of Alan Jackson’s Good Time - As someone who live in New York City, let me tell you, you can’t lose points in this town for being too clever of precious. Yeesh!
