well, it's been awhile. mostly cause i've been posting over on my wordpress blog (http://charlotteann.wordpress.com).
anyway, i just wanted to post about the dixie chicks. when i was in boston, tara was telling me about the whole deal with them over the last few years when their latest video came on VH1 (cause we were watching VH1 in the hotel room being band nerds). since then i've heard that song (not ready to make nice) a lot and i like it more and more. last night i went and saw the dixie chicks movie and i adored it. i wasn't going to buy their cd cause i had this idea that because they're "country" and wouldn't like it, but they really have this whole new sound that makes me think tom petty and sometimes blue rodeo and sometimes barenaked ladies (specifically lullaby and kevin hearn's peterborough and the kawarthas) and sometimes s-club 7 (specifically i like it) and sometimes widespread panic and sometimes joss stone (the dixie chicks should totally play bonnaroo) and it's just phenomenal. i love this album.
and i just thought i'd share.
so if you're into the kinda bluegrass/folk/rock genre, GET this cd. not only is the music incredible, it's a really touching and emotional album and it makes me melt.
also, see the movie. it's quite good.
hope everyone's doing well. :)
ps. got the new ron sexsmith album and it is also quite good. i don't think i've ever listened to ron sexsmith of my own volition. wierd. i like it. i also got the new pink album and an REM greatest hits cd (i lost all my REM when my mp3 player died).
