i've become way more interested in country music since being introduced to ryan adams and a few young musicians out of edmonton, but kitty wells i could do without.
slim twig is definitely "cool and interesting" though.
Yeah, Ryan Adams is where it started for me too.
Kitty Wells is as country as you can get: the pedal steel, the twang, and the melodramatic lyrics. She's everything I spent my adolescence despising. But then came Ryan Adams, and Johnny Cash, then Tift Merrit, and Marty Robbins, Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline album, and on and on -and finally here I am loving Kitty Wells to death.
