Who is it exactly that's saying the genre shouldn't evolve at all? And why does he seem to think it's so wrong for people like me to think evolution shouldn't be duets with '80s rock acts like Def Leppard and the B-52s? And pointing to Willie Nelson's duet with Julio Iglesias? To put it mildly I thought that was a low point in the Red-Headed Stranger's catalog. Jennifer Nettles and Bon Jovi? I am sure you might be able to figure out what I think of that considering I am a fan of bands like Queensryche, Megadeth and Pantera. (Actually, I really don't hate the hair metal, I just find it more than a little banal after hearing the more traditional metal.) It isn't the evolution of the genre that's the problem. It's the bastardization of it.

Bah humbug. I'm seriously looking forward to Rimes' country (yes, country) album, tentatively scheduled for late fall or possibly early 2010. <em>Family</em> made my top ten list of '07.
