An essay or record review need not mention every track. I made the editorial decision to leave it out.

Not enough smart attention is paid to country music. You did it and did it good.

Well thank y’all, Lucian. It’s one of those columns in which the more I looked, the more interested I got. I mean, “Jesus and Joan Jett”! It’s enough to give one a little bit of hope.

Good to know, Thom. I guess Strait did know the song!
