I think his 2001 cd "Lucky Man" is also worthy of inclusion here. It includes one of my favorite uptempo country songs, "She's Still in Dallas" which is solely written by Hal. If you do a 100 best singles of the decade, I would also include a single he didn't write, Gary Burr's "In Front of the Alamo" with Leann Rimes accompanying Hal. Even though it was not a hit, I would have it in the top ten. Glad to see the Ketchum cd on the list although I would have rated it a lot higher, especially now that I’ve seen half the list.

I would have rated Britt's record much higher but it's nice to see the recognition. Sometimes it seems as though the Australian contingent of country music (sans Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson) exists in a vacuum. I agree with Steve Harvey.

I really liked the clips. The news about her recording with Bill Chambers and Shane Nicholson is exciting. I think the Singletary album is enjoyable enough, but it's certainly not one of my favorite covers albums. I think he's relied on covers way too much.

(lol) Its nice to see Catherine Britt's first RCA Nashville album included even though it was never released here in the US. I'm glad her Aussie label connections got it released at all. Catherine has been working on a new album down under with assistance from Bill Chambers and Shane Nicholson. Here's what she had to say about it in a recent message post: (Dated 11/22/09) "Hey guys!! Well, here is an update from me… I have been in the studio recording a new album due out early next year…. I cannot wait for everybody to hear it! it’s produced by Bill Chambers and Shane Nicholson and engineered by Nash Chambers. I have written every song on the album, some by myself and some with some of my songwriter friends. This album is a result of me coming home and taking creative control back over my music and albums and it’s a lot like my first album (Dusty Smiles and Heartbreak Cures) in that respect. We went out on our own without a label and recorded it in a Melbourne studio called ‘Sing Sing’ with some amazing muso’s like Shane, Bill, John Watson, Jim Meginee and James Gillard and then added the finishing touches at Shane’s house on the coast. I am NEVER going to compromise my music and who I am as an artist ever again and this album is a start to my new future as the exact artist I want to be." Well its nice to see Catherine has learned some important life lessons from her time spent in the heart of the Nashville Big Label Music Machine...

What a great bit of nostalgia there... Our station was one of the only in Canada to spin the “That’s Why I Sing This Way” single and I still love it to this day. What a great bit of nostalgia there…
