I'll drink to that :)
Funnily enough, in Australia we are having the exact opposite phenomenon. I
cannot conceive of a time when there were more talented ladies in country music
over here. They have great voices, impressive songwriting talents, good looks
without having to appear half naked and friendly natural personalities. Here's a
list that's just for starters:
Kasey Chambers
Beccy Cole
Catherine Britt
Melinda Schneider
Sara Storer
Cyndi Boste
Tania Kernagham
Lyn Bowtell
TJ Dennis
And we have a couple of male/female duos, something totally missing from the US
country scene at the moment, who will knock your socks off.
Carter & Carter
Fisk & Christian
In fact Carter & Carter have a song out at the moment with Darren Coggins (a
trio?) called "Busy Man" that has q great moral about spending more time with
your family instead of working all the time. It contains my favourite lyric of
the moment:
"Did you ever see a headstone with the words I wish that I had spent more time at work?"
