Commentary

Wow, you’ve really gone on a bluegrass kick. I really like Emmylou Harris’s cover of “Orphan Girl,” as well as her “Wrecking Ball” cover. Charlie Daniels just covered “I’ll Fly Away” again. Here are a few other hokey country songs:

• I Will - Shedaisy
• What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
• Buckaroo - Lee Ann Womack
• You Don’t Lie Here Anymore - Shelly Fairchild

And Neil Young recently came out with a house rocker called “After the Garden” that is Hippo-worthy. --jwb
