Loretta on Letterman

scott murray · From: Asheville, NC

of course Letterman would have the White Stripes on w/o Loretta. They're huge right now. They played the Grammys and were nominated for more than one award.

I'm no fan. Jack is way too primitive and Meg just flat sucks, but they do have energy and fire, so good for them. Better them than some hairband or Britney clone.

They love roots music: blues and country. Most kids nowadays have NO CLUE who Loretta Lynn is. You think a rerun of 'Coal Miners Daughter' on the USA network is gonna do the trick?

Like I said, I'm no White Stripes fan, but God bless Jack White for his love of traditional music, and his elevation of the great Loretta Lynn back into the spot light, when he could just as easily be selling himself during this 15 minutes of fame.

And cheers to Loretta for taking her chances with a younger crowd and a rougher sound.

Life is good.

I heard a cut from Loretta's new disk, they played it on XM radio last nite. I think it was named "Have Mercy on Me" or something like that. Definitely not of the Loretta genre that I'm used to. Sounded like she was trying to be Janis (Joplin). Hopefully the rest of the CD has something better on it than that.

to retcop88: Garth Brooks covered Kiss' "Hard Luck Woman". Does this count?

to Bill Hatcher: I understand all of that,passed the bottle with a few supposedly "cool bands" with pretty hair. I'm only 32 years young.You're right,the ones with the most talent are usually the most poor. Milli Vanilli also won a Grammy and sold gillions of records,looked cool, and the chick were diggin' 'em . They also said they were better than Pelvis Presley too.At least he did his own singing !

to Walter Stettner: No problem man,just stating a belief that the public at large will buy just about anything that Sony jams down thier throat. Used to be that labels believed in Artist development. Nowadays,atleast in the pop and rock world,if your first record don't go platinum, you get dropped and are in debt to the recording industry snakes,I mean label.

P.S. I wonder if Poisen still has that endorsement deal with Aquanet Hair Spray.
