She's great live. I went to see her Sunday Night in Nashville. Good story too. Poor girl with diabetes from an abusive makes good after busking subway stations in Chicago.

C'mon Farkmins give her a greenlight.

She was the ONLY reason I watched last years American Idol. She has an incredible voice - reminds me a little of Janis Joplin without the Jack.

Ender's: DaCricket: Ender's: Who wrote the song? That's all I care about so I can go see em at the Blue Bird

She did. (new window)

Awesome. Thanks!

she's not the typical "Idol". Her cd is almost all her originals.
I think there's 2 songs on it that aren't hers.

I actually like a lot of her other stuff more than this first single. the cd is well worth the price.

That's great to hear. Wonder how hard it is to grab a ticket to see her in Nashville?

well she's not playing a steady gig there this was a quick one show booking that happened spur of the moment. they only announced it maybe a week before she was there. it was for a Lightning 100 radio show concert series at 3rd and Lindsley
She had to come to town and do promos ,interviews with CMT and the like. She's there the whole week then going to Atl where she has a by-invite-only private show for the radio station there.

I expect some tour info to be coming soon though. She's doing SXSW and some stuff in San Diego and LA this spring.

here's where I became a fan. I saw this audition and then went to youtube and found this

I'm a minute into it. Does the song stop being typical cliched Nashville pop-country bullshiat at some point?

You made it further than I. By all appearances, this is for the Idol flash in the pan crowd.

I learned how to play that song in less than 2 minutes.

Took me longer to tune my acoustic.

No.

Hey, I'm for tolerance and diversity, but um, the linked video is not safe for breakfast. Subby, we really should have been warned.

7 seconds in WTF? 8 seconds in I threw up. 11 seconds in, same thing.

Hey Mom, why does your new boyfriend call you Tony?

This is one of the few 'new' country artists you need to know.

Pfft, the only people in Nashville who care about country music are record execs and tourists.

Let's go burn ole Nashiville down
Set it all aflame
BBQ the greedheads
Made country weak and tame
Burn burn Nash Vegas
Char it's rancid soul
Burn burn Branson too

//Or samplers neither

Another song about Daddy issues. Everybody has them.

I call it Father hunger.

If you can't make it in pop music the country music industry would love to have you.

Crystal Bowersox: coming to a county fair near you.

I'm happy for the girl but let's be honest. At least half of us have won country music awards.

I've got 2 in my toilet tank to save water per flush.

I listened for a full minute waiting for a drop... damn you dubstep!!

Almost as easy as receiving a Platinum record in the '80s.

This was a joke right? It sucked.

All good. Just couldn't see a Tx country list w/o them on it. Will see them Fri night in Tulsa. Afraid they are about to blow up big. Were just on Leno and will be on Conan the end of the month.

judging by her i guess the new country is having piercings and a tat covering your entire back as you sit in a sun dress and sing about a white woman in a white outfit holding the hand of a little white girl.

When she is on crutches, it looks like the thread is coming out of her butt.

I'm more of a jazz & weird rock guy, but I do like a few country-ish artists:

BR549
Trent Summar & The New Row Mob
Kentucky Headhunters (the more obscure stuff)
Southern Culture On The Skids
Jason & The Scorchers
The Great Divide
The Jayhawks
Joe Ely
Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance

... and maybe a few others. Top 40 country, not so much. It bores me.

IMHO one of the most under rated bands of all time.

I just got into them. I think they are great but (in my opinion) the lead singer sounds alot like TMBG. It has taken me a while to get over that. Whether it is true or not I am not sure but it is something I have had to overcome when listening to their music. Great stuff though.

/NoMeansNo is the most underrated band of all time BTW

Tommorow The Green Grass was excellent IMO.

Cross Canadian Ragweed is the best thing going today.

Gunny Highway: NoMeansNo


Any place I should start with them?

Eh, the lyrics were clumsy and the guitar was boring. Over all, bad song. She could have done a lot better.

wildbill0712: Any place I should start with them?

Maybe start with the albums Wrong, 0 + 2 = 1, and Sex Mad. And then listen to everything else. They are a great Canadian three piece.

Well I liked it and she is pretty easy on the eyes as well.

Saw a band called L'Angelus on the Marty Stuart Show the other night. They were hands down the freshest country music act I've seen in years.

FTFY.

Any parent that names their kid Crystal will have a life long fight to keep her off the pole.

I like your choices. Saw Jason & The Scorchers twice last year after over 20 years. Gonna see SCOTS again this summer. Can't wait.

If I was a hardcore country fan, I'd be personally offended by the fact that so many American Idols think it's easier to tackle the country charts than it is to take on the rock and pop charts. People that have no connection to country whatsoever are coming into the genre to make a quick buck because they can't hack it against the Chris Daughtrys and Kelly Clarksons.
