Kathy Mattea- Listen to the Radio

Cover of a Nanci Griffith song, and amazingly enough I prefer this version to Nanci's. Imagine that.

@imaxginaxtion because it's a bunch of stupid city people that don't know the first thing about country that are running country music. Most country singers today look and act like rock stars, too many country singers are selling out to pop, that would be ok if it was with real country music like we had in the 80's.

As much as I like Nanci Griffith (and I prefer Nanci's live version of "Love At The Five and Dime"), I think Kathy's version of this song is the better one.

Country music...blah, yuck, but she has a nice singing voice.

Not knowing who she is, or any of her music, to my ear, she sounds very much like a young Anne Murray.

Great song! Why doesn't country radio play country any more? SP in NJ

[BerrysJSRD]

nanci griffith did the original. Great highway music.

[Utoober67]
