Great song, as are a number of others of his. I was always amazed that the country community actually accepted him when they wouldn't accept people like Lyle Lovett and k.d. lang (well, I think I know why they didn't accept her but they missed out on one of the truly great voices...one of the few that could rival Patsy Cline).
I remember the first time I heard KD Lang sing on TV and thinking what a truly fantastic singing career she was going to have. Problem was she talked about being a vegetarian and how she wouldn't even wear leather after she sang. I winced when I heard her say that because 99% of the country music lovers in this country are involved with meat production somehow or other and I knew she'd have major trouble being accepted. It's such a shame too. She is one of the few people I know of that might possibly be able to match Aretha Franklin for singing ability. :]
We think alike! I tried to post k.d. lang's "Constant Craving" right after this, but encountered some problems. Ironically, after Patsy's death, there were rumors about her sexuality, not that it matters.
