I raise my hand hungrily and achingly. Yes, I longed to hear the pure, lonesome sound of Patty Loveless. Until I listened to the 14 songs on her upcoming CD, I had no idea what she and her husband, record producer Emory Gordy Jr., had on those tracks. I j

At WFMU's Beware of the Blog : 15 MP3s on a common topic: Wreck on the Highway . If you like songs about car crashes and their horrific aftermaths, then you probably already know that country music tends to be a bit more extreme than any other genre.

Oh, you latte-swilling blue-staters. Laugh if you will, but you don't own a company with enough coin to sponsor a bowl game, do you, you iPhone-twirling fuckwit. Your internet start-up, your sex-toys-for-pets company, your lame diner specializing in Albanian burritos. It all sucks compared to Roady's, because none of them sponsor a bowl game, much [...]

Here's a collection of three songs about a little crippled boy and the truck drivers who loved him. The CB radio craze conspired with Red Sovine's penchant for mawkish 18-wheeler-oriented recitations to make this one of the surprise hits of...
