Someone' conjured me from the ether . . . . .
Lee Ann is a shore-nuff Texas Woman, from just outside Waco in Jacksonville, TX. The song I'M posting is the sort of thing that got her signed. She went through the 'artist develpment' period, which is how you get 'I Hope You Dance', which now makes her cringe almost as bad as me, except I don't think she wants to stick sharp pencils in her eyes like I do when it comes on . . .
So, here's 'Say Never Again, Again' from the same project as 'Buckaroo'. I made lots of money playing tunes just like this in Texas. Saturday night, wooden dance floor big enough for two Prevosts, starched, pegged Wranglers, fresh straw cowboy hats, Lone Stars and
Tacos al Carbone. THIS is what 'country music' is SUPPOSED to sound like, by all that's holy, with pedal steel and fiddle. A classic shuffle arrangement, I was always a sucker for those unison changes with the 1-1#-2 walkups and the 4-3-3 flat-2 walkdowns. I could eat this stuff with a spoon and so does Lee Ann. She survived her 'major record deal' and is once again making great records on her own terms.
Texas. It's like a whole 'nother country !
