I've heard this song many times over the years, but there's something about seeing her perform it live that really cuts through my soul. So I thought I'd share it with you guys, even though I know you youngsters like your Shakiras and your Biebers.

The Highwaymen album always sounded odd to me with their old-school pedigree combined with weird dated Eighties sequencer-drenched production. Still has some great moments though.

Country music is alive and well today, it's just called 'Americana' and throttles back a bit on the pedal-steel. Modern 'country' is poo poo-pop for suburban drones who long for some sort of authenticity and are too dumb to realize they're getting duped.

Ok the last Texas group, ZZ top. Several years ago I waited tables in Houston and Billy Gibbons was a regular. He was kinda jerk and acted like he was this big celebrity. In hindsight he wasn't a bad person or anything, I just don't think he liked to be bothered.

Despite the horrible video quality, he sounds pretty good, and although I do prefer a little more pedal steel, the fiddle playing is good
