Am I just being self-indulgent too? Oh, and “The Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker” is easily my favorite song on the Brooks & Dunn record. Am I just being self-indulgent too?

That likely deflated a lot of the demand. I’m sure Allan’s would have been higher had he not released a greatest-hits album a few months ago. That likely deflated a lot of the demand.

Jim - There's nothing wrong with a little self-indulgence every now and then, but otherwise, I mostly agree with you.

"The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker" is a painful listen (who gave Kix a mic?), and makes no sense in the context of the album, their career, or the format. Calling it anything other than marginal, lie the rest of the album (he was too generous with that statement) shows how some people will flag-wave for anything that they consider to be "real" country music. I applaud artists taking risks, but this, I think, is a case of self-indulgence.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Gary Allan and the Krauss/Plant debuts. I don't think anyone doubted Underwood would be sitting at the top, though. That’s great news about the Billboard 200.
