Personally I like Garth Brooks and I see where he has a Christmas album
out called Beyond the Season.  I have not heard it yet so if you get it

It's not country, but Mannheim Steamroller has two Christmas CDs/tapes
that are great.  Few vocals, but fantastic instrumentals.  

And there's always Ricky Van Shelton's Christmas album.

For good background music while you and your friends are eating
Christmas cookies and sipping eggnog and chit-chatting (or just
for listening, 'cause it's so pretty), I highly recommend the
Canadian Brass's album from last year.  Can't recall the name
just now.  If anyone's interested, e-mail me & I'll get you the

I have Tracy Lawrence's CD "Sticks and Stones" and I love it.  My husband
bought it when he had only one single off it.  I was kind of leary of it at
first -  only because of the price and you never know if you will like the
other songs on it - But I agree with Doug, it is great.  The songs are really
good.  If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy it my suggestion to
you is go buy it.  We saw him in person when he came to Oswego for Harborfest
last summer.  He put on a great show.  A lot of the people in the crowd I
talked to never heard of him but you should have seen the crowd.  Very few
people were just sitting or standing and not moving to the beat.  He has a
great voice.  I hope he comes out with a new CD soon.  

	Has anybody out there in newsland heard if he will be coming out with a
new CD soon?  If so please let me know.  If it is as good as his first one he
should make it big.  I was disappointed though  that he wasn't on the Country
Music Awards last month.  I know he is fairly new but I was hoping to see him
perform.

I agree.  That high harmony has always sounded just a little flat to me.
They can just about ruin my taste for a good song.  I really like the way
both Emmy Lou and Rodney Crowell do "Leavin' Louisianna in the Broad

Hi Denise,

I had many friends who just saw Garth Halloween night in the Centrum in 
Worcester, Ma.  I was so depressed I could not make the show, I was playing
out in one of the bands I'm in at the time.  I heard the show was awesome
and some of my friends have been to many good country shows with me before.

I just pray that somehow someday I'll get a chance to see him again.  He told
the crowd that night that he planned on about a 9 month break, then he was
gonna return to touring once again.  I can only hope so.

This is sort of second hand but I guess he really got the crowd going nuts.
Did his rope swing and all out in the crowd.  There was someone in the front
row who had a set of drum sticks, so Garth called the drummer down front and
they had fun with that for a bit, the drummer traded sticks with the woman
in the crowd, then walked up and starting going nuts on the drum kit !!

I sured missed a good show.

Oh, almost forgot:  I've got a lovely album of Christmas carols

it at the counter of one of the bigger, fancier department
stores several years ago, and I just love it!  It has that
perfect tinkling, silvery Christmas sound, like looking at the

Glad to know someone besides myself is listening to Christmas

The Oak Ridge Boys did that song, not the Statler Brothers. 

My father got me hooked on the Statler Brothers when I was about 7 or 8.
I still enjoy listening to their music for the purity of the voices.
They also sound just as good in concert as on a record.

Since I have had so much fun taking lyric quizzes, I thought I would try my 
hand at giving one.  This one has a bit of a twist to it:  all these lyrics 
are from remakes, that is, songs that have been hits for different artists at 
different times.  Sooo... I am looking for three things:  the song, the 
original artist and the cover (remaking) artist.  By original artist I mean the
person with whom the song has been most identified, whether or not he or she 
was actually the first person to record it.  You know, like they say on the 
radio:  And that was NewArtist doing the old OldArtist classic!  Almost all of
the cover artists' versions have been released as singles and/or videos, and 
most within the last five years.  Songs are in alphabetical order by the 
ORIGINAL artist.  There are 12 songs:  scoring is one point each for song, 
original artist and cover artist for a total of 36.  Hint: (numbers) do mean 
something and may help.

Then you don't know or understand what country music is. I am an avid

but I don't consider it country I consider it Neil Young. He is in a
