It’s amazing the power one voice can wield when soaring from the speakers into a chilly Chicago apartment. I spent the morning reading a magazine and generally feeling guilty about not working until I came across an article on theology- themed blogs. It’s sweet vindication when loafing magically begets RESEARCH. Decided to celebrate by listening to the new (to me) Loretta Lynn cd.

Rarely does a cd manage to make me this happy, but Van Lear Rose has led me to the instant giddy caffeine- fueled conclusion that more, MORE Country Goddess-Elders like fierce-tender Loretta should be encouraged, implored, compelled, bribed, begged- whatever it takes- to keep on recording. Would that Jack White vows to make it his life’s mission to ensconce the Grandeammes of country music in a loving embrace of thoughtful, refined productions like this one.
