The White Stripes & Loretta Lynn??

[hayley]

It's totally amazing. Every single track is a classic. I'm not one for the Jack White hype machine, but this record is amazing and he deserves praise for being able to bring Loretta's talent in focus for a whole new generation with this.

I've turned into such a country and alt country fan in the last several years, even more than I used to be. I think all I've played this week is twang- Johnny's Love God Murder set, Willie, Loretta Lynn, Sam Phillips, Patty Griffin (which my officemate just told me she thought was country- I say folk, but hey.), Lucinda, Dylan Country- the Dylan covers album by Nashville artists.
