Ross (3284 KP) rated Down Every Road by Merle Haggard in Music

Rolling Stone's 477th greatest "album" of all time
First off, since when was a 4-disc anthology considered an album?!
If there was a country version of the old "infinite monkeys with typewriters would eventually write Shakespeare" then I think I just listened to it. So many slightly different combinations of guitar and fiddle melodies, yet they never managed to recreate Jonny Cash.
Country really isn't my bag at all and I should never have listened to this.
Prior to this, my only knowledge of Merle Haggard was the Bloodhound Gang lyric "I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert that night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love", which I didn't understand until now. I wish it had stayed that way.

Rolling Stone's 478th greatest album of all time
A whole load of short country songs. Which generally all sound the same. After a few you can actually guess the bassline out loud and be confident of getting it right. Some amusing song titles which lead themselves to double entendres which kept me amused, but in general the songs were about her determination to hold on to her "mayannn" and that "mayannn" being a no-good, hard-drinking scumbag. I was very glad when this album finished, and disagree with Rolling Stone's including a greatest hits album in their top 500 list. And then came a 4-disc set of Merle Haggard country hits *exasperated emoji*
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Making It Up by Kathryn Legendre in Music
Jun 17, 2019
Kathryn Legendre is a rising singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. Not too long ago, she released a lovely country tune, entitled, “There You Go”.
“I try to keep myself at bay, but I miss you every day. You took off when I needed you the most. All I’ve got to get me through are these memories of you. It’s easier believing in a ghost. There you go again and here I am alone.” – lyrics
‘There You Go’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who doesn’t like saying goodbye to her significant other.
Apparently, he has to travel on the road again. Therefore, he has to leave the love-of-his-life all by her lonesome.
After his emotional departure, she washes dishes in the sink, hangs with her friends, and counts the hours down to when she will see her partner’s smiling face again.
Later, she admits that it still feels like he just left, and all she has to get her through this lonely period are the memories of him.
‘There You Go’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and vibey instrumentation scented with a country fragrance.
“I have a dear friend who lost her fiancé in a car accident while he was out on tour. ‘There You Go’ is a song about the fear of your loved one leaving and the fear of them never coming back.” – Kathryn Legendre
Kathryn Legendre drives around Austin with a ‘God Bless Merle Haggard’ sticker on her bumper.
The rising country artist thrives the most when she feels that something is missing. Also, she takes pride in the ability to relate to the human condition
