Loretta Lynn has always been one to reach outside the box and push boundaries with creative license that only Loretta can do. If all of her songs that were banned from radio play when released were to be included on one CD, that alone would put her back on the charts like Van Lear Rose did for her back in 2004.

Did you know that she wanted to record a duet with Louis Armstrong? Sadly, he passed on before this could actualize. Humm…death didn’t stop Natalie Cole from recording a duet with her late father, Nat King Cole.

Loretta has the star-power to do anything she wants to do.

The new duet with Todd Snider really is awesome!!

for the country ish side
“Indoor Fireworks”, “The Big Light”, “Stranger in the house”, “he’s got you”, “why don’t you love me”, “that day is done”, “Either side of the same town”, “the judgement”, “brown to blue”, “good year for the roses”

don’t get me wrong, there are a million more, but that’s a start

EC Tracks – “Almost Blue,” “Brilliant Mistake,” “Indoor Fireworks,” “Watxhing the Detectives,” “Veronica,” “Toledo,” “Every Day I Write the Book,” “Beyond Belief,” “Alison,” “Pump it Up,” “Radio Radio,” “Oliver’s Army” – too many to name

It’s ironic that my fave track of his is one he didn’t write: “(Wat’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, love and Understanding?,” which was written by Nick Lowe.

Loretta did still sound great on Van Lear Rose and pertaining to the death row discussion on the “Lighting” article, Lynn’s album has it’s own with “Women’s Prison.”

Y’all got an recommended tracks from Costello?

PS – Thanks for giving Teddy Thompson his props – I have a lot of good buddies working at Verve and this is a very cool record that deserves to be listened to.

As an avowed Elvis costello fan I can tell you he’s complex, wordy, but talented as hell. That he is able to use words as well as he does, and use as many of them as he does, and still makes them all work musically in his songs, is amazing to me.

I am so looking forward to hearing what he and Loretta are cooking up.

The Loretta album should be incredible. I’m a huge Todd Snider fan and Costello has real country cred (Almost Blue album, King of America album, kinda the Delivery Man album). Loretta still sounded awesome on Van Lear Rose, so if this lives up to its promise, it should be a classic.

That Loretta Lynn albums sounds interesting. John Carter did a great job with Billy Joe Shaver’s latest album and with songwriting talent like Lynn and Todd Snider, it ought to be good. I don’t know enough about Costello to comment on his talents.

I gave the Teddy Thompson album a quick listen when it came out and remember it being pretty good, but I think I’m going to have to go check it out again.
