I Keep My Eyes Wide Open All the Time

Amanda Christie forced me to buy a country CD. She didn't hold me at gunpoint or anything, no - she was far more insidious. She simply got Johnny Cash stuck in my head

i absolutely LOATHE country music. but the christie got me hooked on Cash too, though I adore the Reese Witherspoon & Joaquin Phoenix album from the movie. Erin Mc and I walk around London harmonizing on "It Ain't Me Babe" constantly. Good stuff.

That song is probably the meanest song in the world, except for "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." And ironically, those are both written by Bob Dylan.

I think Dylan is the Kevin Bacon of music - you can connect anyone to him in under six moves. Of course, Dylan is way the fuck cooler than Kevin Bacon. And that's cool.

there is country, and then there is country. johnny cash is his own entity. if you didn't like it, i'd be sad.

for other non-country country, you could try people like neko case-- not entirely country but still pretty beautiful.
