Love Goes To Building On Fire
A recent playlist, a treasury of current country music, Love Goes To Building On Fire, all except the first track being from this decade.
1. Martina McBride "Independence Day": When community does nothing, woman on the losing end constructs an apocalypse.
2. Miranda Lambert "Kerosene": Jilted woman sees red, creates it.
3. Gary Allan "Can't Do It Today": Predicted reconciliation to occur after time ends.
4. Toby Keith "That's Not How It Is": Quiet storm goes chilly.
5. Montgomery Gentry "Cold One Comin' On": Beneath the chill is a deep freeze.
6. Travis Tritt "Too Far To Turn Around": And beneath the freeze is the blazing pit.
7. Big & Rich "Rollin' (The Ballad Of Big & Rich)": Same year as the Tritt but might as well be a later century. Guitars go funk, harmonies go metal, guest artist finds a hip, a hop, da hippy, da hippy...
8. Brooks & Dunn "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You": Manly duo comes on like Londonbeat boys, finds the rhythm in the blues.
9. Deana Carter "The Girl You Left Me For": Abasement that's so desperate it's aggressive, dressed in bright musical colors.
10. Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats": Carrie gets even.
11. Taylor Swift "Tim McGraw": Taylor gets bittersweet.
12. Dixie Chicks "Lubbock Or Leave It": Dixies say take this genre and shove it.
