A Decade In Country: Heat #2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

"Wotcher poptimists!

I hope you all had a good larf with Heat #1, filled as it was with bloody smashing country delights plucked like a taut banjo string from the 2000-2005 decade polls. I know I did! I mean, I was blatantly born by then and everything! Strike a light!

It looks like me dear old mucker Carrie Underwood and her track 'Before He Cheats' was your favourite out of the bunch, closely followed by the Dixie Chicks, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and the White Stripes. Top drawer mate! And there's even more diamond songs under the cut! In the meantime I'm off down the foot-long sub for a nice pint of mild. Laaahvly."


Cheers Taylor! As before, you can tick as many as you like! But please try and have a listen to the tracks you've not heard before (a Spotify playlist is at your disposal) The top five from each heat will go through into a final top ten next Wednesday.

OOH ticked, now opened up Spotify.

I am looking forward to MOAR Drive By Truckers. They are brilliant!

Here's a stream of Merle Haggard's Wishing All These Old Things Were New. Merle gets old, he can't savor what he used to, things get worse, he can't do anything about it, guitarists play swing fills.

Into your web of bittersweet, of ecstasy and sin
