The song is average, but these chicks have more ballz than the majority of Artists I run across. If you are a folk singer or an Artist that writes with a social purpose (which was common when I grew up), now is the time for you to be speaking out if ever. The world and this country face truly significant problems and a lot of people are asleep at the wheel or too busy just surviving to say or do anything about it. The majority of Artists I run across today (like most people in general sadly) are focused on making money. Making money has become what it's all about...

That song is pretty boring to me but you're damn right they've got balls. A fav of mine Jason Isbell just put out a sort of call-out on the mealy-mouthed, milquetoast cowardice in music. This song is also just ok to me but I like the dude and the message. |

Yeah - the lyrical content isn't exactly timeless Bob Dylan - but it's her personal experience. Guess you can do that when and if you're going for "I don't care what anyone thinks..." Kind've reminds me of Taylor Swift writing. I call it Diary Writing...but - anyway...I love the production, though. So, so wish this would be a direction Country music would go. I'm so tired of the pop/rap influence in Country...Boom/snap/boom. Verse is three note melody talky...then chorus jumps up an octave and screams at you... |

I had the privilidge of seeing one of their collaborators David Grissom when I was younger. He was a student at Indiana University and was in a band with fellow student Kenny Aronoff. They often came to my town and played at a local club. Grissom was already enormously talented, if not, like Aronoff, a prodigy.

Maybe it will go that way.

Maybe it will go that way. I hope so, because everything at the top of the charts sounds the same, whether it's pop. country, R&B, etc... |

You're right about the production John, that last chorus gets bigger than Ben Hur when you think it had already maxed.
Also love the wallpaper of smoothly played acoustics not demanding too much attention but setting a scene.Would love to know a budget for something like this.
Cheers, Ross

The mix is much larger than life. Stylish production I wouldn't know how to do, and the video too.
The tune? Another somebody done somebody wrong song crossed with teh fashionable female empowerment. Imagine if guys did stuff like this.
I shouldn't criticize, I'm an artist too and we all try our best. Let the critcs pick stuff apart. This effort radiates top tier talent on all fronts. I wonder what audience they're aiming for here, or if they are. It looks like they are.

Gag me. Beautiful mix. That's it.
P.S. According to a Harvard University study released in 2012, 70% of all domestic violence is women on men.
Women's revenge and superiority groups were really pissed off about it, so Harvard bowed to political pressure and quashed the report and removed all links to it.
I might still have something. ;-)
Doesn't make for great song material though.

Isbell's mix is too dense for my taste, but I love what he can do sometimes with a simple turn of a phrase or heartfelt melody over a stark realism. Dixie Chicks have artistic guts for sure, and I sure would like to see more gutsy statements in Country music, but the audience is often very conservative, so they get pandered to so the artist can keep the money rolling in.

I know...imagine if dudes bashed women in songs like women do... I always wondered about this when I lived in Nashville trying to get a publishing deal. The glorification of women in country music seemed almost cartoonish. At the time, I thought it was a southern thing, and being from the north, I just didn't understand it. The "bad woman" idea in our culture, which we all know is real because we've all met a few, was often written about in rock and roll songs, but somehow country music never went there as far as I know. Too real? God forbid! lol I wonder if it is because suburban women are a big audience for country radio, or if it's a southern thing where country music keeps up the pretense. |

Women bought the music from the 1990s on. But prior to that there were always bad woman songs. Ruby, Jolene, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry... |

The strange thing is, the women I know are always complaining about what bitches their girl friends are. lol Maybe if Kelly Clarkson sang a song called "Crazy Bitch" both the men and women would recognize her. |
