One of my plans for 2005 is to do more non-political posts...
...in that spirit, I'd like to recommend that all music lovers should go out and buy Loretta Lynn's newest album "Van Lear Rose". It's been on high rotation in my house for the past few weeks, and it's one of those albums that sounds good on first play, and then just grows on you from there.
Even if you are not a country fan (and I'd never really listened to Loretta much before this album), give it a shot. Jack White from the White Stripes produced it and plays on a lot of it, and it's definitely one of the best albums of the past year, of any genre...
I own it but I haven't listened to it yet! But I've been thinking about it since it appears on so many Year-End lists. I'm going to dig it out today. thanks for the push.
Blahguy... I need to work on my Powell's linking! But hey, there's probably a Barnes and Noble or some other big box music retailer where you're at since you're needing immediate musical gratification.
If change is to come, it will have to come from the outside. It will have to come from the margins. -Wendell Berry _______________________________________
