I liked that Ricky and James Taylor song…though I could use an updated production, I think. I agree that James Taylor doing country isn’t a stretch; I just think he sounds better on songs that I perceive as more mellow.

Jim C, I just thought your luke warm endorsement here didn’t seem to match your highly positive review of their album over there. Sorry, I was actually kidding about the flip flop thing.

James Taylor recording country isn’t much of a stretch. Some of his early singles received airplay on country radio and there were some early of covers of his material by established country stars. George Hamilton IV had a minor hit in late 1969 with “Carolina In My Mind”.

Taylor has dabbled with Nashville for a long time – he wrote “Bartender’s Blues” with the idea of having George Jones record it, and he and Ricky Skaggs recorded a Christmas song together “New Star Shining” some years back

1) I said “I like the Chicks just fine.” How does that translate to anything close to “hate”? And how does a positive review of their last record become a “flip flop”?

2) Corcoran equated the Mother Truckers to the Dixie Chicks which I thought ridiculous on it’s face. One’s a loud rock band with a country edge, the other’s a country band with some bluegrass edges. So, I made an equally ridiculous comparison, the Scorchers and Taylor Swift. A loud rock band with a country edge and a airhead country artist.

3) I don’t understand anything that Kelly says and I obviously don’t get her sense of humor. Therefore, from now one when I see a comment from her I’ll skip over it. It’ll save everyone (read mostly me) the aggravation of having to go through this on a regular basis.

Hope that clears things up for y’all.

What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.

At the risk of being berated by Jim C… ;-)

While I respectfully disagree with Jim’s pre/post Natalie opinion, he doesn’t hate the Chicks:

Same Jim C.?

Jim C. I am equally amazed at the very same notion, just the other way around obviously. You made a jocular comment about me putting RK and Escovedo in the same sentence and my repsonse was merely a light-hearted reply to you explaining that I wasnt comparing the two (should’ve been obvious), and that since we were talking about putting “mismatched” artists in the same sentence, I simply pointed out that you had done that as well (knowing that you were also not comparing the two artists in your sentence, just as I wasnt comparing). Also, I put one of those silly little smiley faces (for example:-)) on my comment to suggest I was being light-hearted about my comment. You seem to be unable to catch that aspect of the comments even though you use the “smiley face” quite liberally yourself. For someone who made the initial comment responding to my comment, you are quite touchy…try decaf instead of “full-caff” in the am perhaps ;-)…

What!?!?

I’m speechless. What’s amazing to me is that you can read, but continually prove you don’t understand.

Well Jim C., I believe it was you who put Jason & the Scorchers in the same sentance with Taylor Swift…i guess we should consider context, huh:-)
