Full Version: Favorite Songs by Favorite Artists
I saw this earlier today--meant to post but I'm out of town. Great job!!!
Cory what a touching and well written tribute to your grandmother. And a fun read for any Trisha fan. I agree, RLW is one of my favorite CDs. I just recently popped it my CD player and everytime I listen to it, I love it more and more. The one word that always comes to mind when I listen to it is "rich". Such a full and rich sounding album. Thanks for a terrific column.
Awesome job Cory! 
Thanks guys! I appreciate it!
I also did a K.T. Oslin 6 pack at country universe, Kevin over there has been very generous to Erik and myself. I hope to think up of another oppurtunity to post again!
But I have tackled K.T. and Trisha, im outta ideas

As I think Cory will testify to, coming up with twenty-five songs, many of which are album tracks and not necessarily "hits", is a job and a half when you talk about any artist who has been around for as long as Trisha has. And of course it helps to not only listen to all the albums these songs came from, but also to read up on everything relating to the way Trisha goes about making the albums she has made (as I did when I came up with my 25 for Trisha's spiritual mentor Linda Ronstadt).
I'm kind of glad that he made "When A Love Song Sings The Blues" his #1 choice, because it hopefully gets the listener into searching out the entirety of that album, and all of Trisha's other albums. Any astute listener hopefully buys the album not only for its hits but for the potential hidden gems as well, and with an open mind that he/she is not getting mere filler, as is so often the case in this "product"-driven age. Trisha, thankfully, doesn't make albums just for the sake of getting hits, but for building a legacy based on quality; and I'm here to commend Cory for bringing this out in his Country Universe spotlight on Trisha.

Cory,
That was absolutely incredible! Awesome, and so fun for us to read. As many TY fans will do as I did reading. "Yup, "Ahh Ha" You nailed each and every song.
Be well Cory!

I am about 8 or 9 months late noticing the post Erik but thankyou very much. I hope some people did check out some of the hidden 'gems' on her albums because of that list. I would really like to give her a print out of this when and if I am lucky enough for another meet and greet
