Trent Summar Compared To A Blond Elvis And The Associated Press Reviews Last of The Breed
- Ed Crowell over a Austin360 seems to like what he hears and sees in Trent Summar.

- The Associated Press has a review of the Last of the Breed album.
- GAC has a fantastic review of George Jones at the Opry. It sounds like he put on quite a show. Also, check out what our very own, Matt C., had to say about the show.
- After you’ve checked out GAC, go stop by USA Today, Reuters, and Austin360. Exciting stuff.
- And lastly, Willie Nelson appeared on the Colbert Report last night to settle the dispute about who has the better ice cream.

Martina McBride - “Ride” Catchy, but a little low on cogency–not to mention originality. And it essentially resolves into the same kind of positive “message song” that has defined so much of McBride’s recent work.
Richie McDonald - “How Do I Just Stop” So gloriously simple and unequivocally lackluster that people of every political persuasion should rejoice in the opportunity to come together and have a hearty laugh at its expense.
Donnie Vondra - “If I Didn’t Love You” Combinining a golden trifecta of country music—steel guitar, fiddle and a strong, twangy vocal—"If I Didn't Love You" pulls together a sweet, toe-tapping ditty reminiscent of Marty Raybon-era Shenandoah.
Lance Miller - “Bacon Frying” A charming country song that is beautiful for its simplicity, a musical remnant from a time when songwriters understood that often the best thing to do is just get out of the song’s way.
John Rich - “Another You” For a guy who is supposed to be a genius songwriter, John Rich sure does seem to be running out of ideas.

Thanks for posting that you-tube segment of Willie! I had to watch the show twice last night, I thought it was so good. Stephen Colbert and Ambassador Holbrook singing on the Road Again. I liked that Holbrook improvised and said, “What I love is making Peace with my friends.” He and Willie are like-minded in that.

The whole video cracked me up. Most of it appears to be staged, but Willie’s laughter sounded pretty genuine to me.
