Not at all a country fan, but I'll own up to some 9 to 5 and even some songs from The Coal Miner's Daughter.
ReplyDelete@Wendell: I’m more familiar with country from the 90s because we had CMT then. The Carly Simon and Kim Carnes are not country, but I felt I owed it to the project to check out a few of the country albums from 1980. There He Goes is a great cover by Sissy Spacek.
DeleteSorry I wasn't more clear. I am familiar with Simon and Carnes and know they're not country, lol.
DeleteI've only heard a couple of these, but I like "9 to 5" and Crystal Gayle from her collaboration with Tom Waits on One from the Heart.
ReplyDelete@Josh: Funny you should mention One From The Heart. I discovered the soundtrack this year and really liked it. I still need to see the movie though. It’s an album I can keep listening to and not get tired of.
