Just Announced
How about "One More Song the Radio Won't Like"?
…well yeah, maybe because it SUCKS. Stop whining and write a good song, damnit.
Lyrics for Song: One More Song the Radio Won't Like
Lyrics for Album: Failer
Johnny little rocket star flashing the label's credit card
His name is at the door but no one knew what for
Says he's got a strategy
I'm a test of his sanity
Wire cars and whiskey
Bad debts and dirty laundry
You can't even make up my mind
One more song the radio won't like
Reel it in and shut your mouth
Reputations are in doubt
Write a hit so I can talk you up
No one likes a girl who won't sober up
You can't even make up my mind
One more song radio won't like
So brush your hair and straighten up
Put down the drink you just got
Johnny little rocket star
Picked up a girl at the bar
So I keep my sanity
Wire cars and everything
I guess that we are through
The bad advice from you
You can't even make up my mind
One more song the radio won't like
…well yeah, maybe because it SUCKS. Stop whining and write a good song, damnit.

Where have you been? Her new album has been out for over five months.
I did buy Failer for $1 at the CD Game Exchange, hoping it would grow on me. It didn't.
Her most prominent emotion is whining. She's a fucking whiner. And nobody enjoys a whiner. Probably why people sometimes get sick of me on here.

this is by the very minimum of standards a "good country song", i would consider it "very very good":
————————————–
Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I canâ??t even cross the line to talk you down
Peter, sweet baby, whereâ??d you get that gun?
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around
And I tried to come clean, but I guess itâ??s no use
Your face is all over six oâ??clock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I canâ??t even get inside
Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Was it when your daddy died after he moved to town
And I know your momma calls you good for noth
She says her baby is a failer and she donâ??t want you calling
[chorus]
Peter, sweet baby, thereâ??s just something that I ought to say to you
I'm gonna have your baby this coming June
We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park
You could do a little time and save my broken heart
[chorus]
I tried to come clean but I guess it's no use
Copper went ahead and he just shot you through
Now youâ??re lying dead on the avenue
And I canâ??t feel my broken heart (x2)
You just like it because she says your name.
They don't even have guns in Canada. Thus, she's a poseur.

It's like sending a text message to describe the Mona Lisa.
And some of the best songs EVER have questionable lyrics.
Exhibit A:
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg.
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed.
Originally posted by The Artist Formerly Known As grotty:true … then i'll continue by saying that the song features a great driving beat, some tasteful gee-tar solos, and edwards' exhausted (not whiny) tone … and it all comes together to make a great country song

oh, and my name, too … that doesn't hurt =)
Originally posted by HoyaParanoia:That I can understand. Tho I'll still disagree. Especially when I know that you know better and have an appreciation for the real thing…Say, something like:

Now that's a country song
Sorry, I just wouldn't refer to Kathleen Edwards as "country". Now Freakwater, I would.
10/31 Freakwater, Iota
Excluding Jason & the Scorchers, Freakwater are the primeval "alt-country" band - their 1989 debut album predates by a year Uncle Tupelo's No Depression, the album cited as the cornerstone of the alt-country movement.

regarding kathleen edwards, she's not as good as lucinda williams or laura cantrell, but she's a hell of a lot better than sheryl crow. i saw her maybe two years ago and it was solid, and her guitarist does some tasteful work. i haven't heard either of her records in their entirety, though.
