That's the guy! He was AWESOME! He used to crop up a lot on CMT Europe which, rather tragically, closed down about a year before the Faith Hill/Shania Twang country crossover happened.
I will admit my other country tolerance; that I have a thing for Trisha Yearwood.... And if Trisha happens to be reading and wants to collect that thing....

Has anyone ever really listened to the Carrie Underwood song "Before He Cheats"? It has crossed over to the pop charts. Can you imagine what would happen if a MAN recorded lyrics which talked about destroying a WOMAN'S car and the like because he was cheating?
As far as country chicks go, Spike, I will take Miranda Lambert or Sara Evans. I was also a huge fan of Suzy Boggus and Mary Chapin-Carpenter (both now too old for Nashville)

I'm right there with you Dave on Mary Chapin Carpenter...
her music is what got me started into country....its kinda folksy...
I love her stuff...Miranda Lambert too.....
Carrie's stuff is crossing over because of the whole AI thing...but
so is Rascall Flatts....What Hurts the Most went CHR...but when it
first came out the first thing that came to my head was it would make
a great R&B song....

Spike, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Ms Twain as Ms Twang!
Also, let me vent my spleen on this: While I liked their work, I was not exactly the most enthusiastic fan of Big Brother & the Holding Company. However, Faith Hill's version of "Piece of My Heart" was wretched by comparison. It's bad enough that she can't sing, but also to have been so woefully misguided as to try to interpret that song as she did in that recording is a travesty and a tragedy.
