is this my album of the year

Might be mine, but I'd lose four songs.

which four though

"Long Black Veil" is OK but she has spent the last eight years making the gesture redundant. I'd confine "Shine on Rainy Day," "Someone Else's Heartache," and "Take the Devil Out of Me" to b-sides.

I like Lee Ann Womack but "I Hope You Dance" would be on my worst songs list

at least three of those songs are my faves on the record alfred

You're welcome!

i could look this up but is the Shine On Rainy Day the Brent Cobb song?

it's one of them, he also did "bottom of the barrel"

"Hollywood" is such a good song

"Talking Behind Your Back" is a beauty. Dean Dillon co-write!

Love the breezy nashville skyline vibe of "talking behind your back"

I think it’s her best- the first side in particular is flawless.

country funk of "He Called Me Baby" is so great
what do you think?
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:45 (four years ago) link
well I'm only halfway through a first listen but so far so good!
the George Jones cover is a charmingly odd choice to end it with (I admit I skipped ahead to listen to that first)

this has some of those "hot shit electric guitarist showoff" moments that I always find interesting on modern country albums. the playing is much looser and rawer than the showboating country-rock guitar solos of previous eras.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 17:07 (four years ago) link
not that the band is really the focus here - good country session musos know to always serve the song/performer - it's just interesting what they do with the moments where they step forward
this Long Black Veil cover is... different

The coda on Hollywood is verrrrry Candy Says

I love the line about martinis int he afternoon

"He Called Me Baby" has such cool guitar playing going on. I love that raw (for the 21st century) band in a room sound. These guys are hot stuff:

me today. the harmonies on the chorus to "The Last Time" are the most gorgeous thing ever. like, i have a raw, physical reaction to them

Her cover of "Out on the Weekend" v. fetching too
― Οὖτις I want her to get back with Willie, at least one more time ("Mendocino County Line" got Grammy for Best Country Duet, and was something of a hit). At this point, could be, should be "Pale Blue Eyes." Seriously, just imagine. What the h-e-double-hocky-sticks, he did "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" a long time ago now.
