RE: Not flamenco but VERY expressive... (in reply to Samarto)
There's usually some sort of depressing undertone to country music. There was a news article about country music fans being more likely to become suicidal. With songs like this should we wonder why?
RE: Not flamenco but VERY expressive... (in reply to Samarto)
Yeah it's an OK tune for listening to when you're driving, but musically I find it very derivative, like the guitarists have been listening to a lot of Rolling Stones and the singer to Linda Rondstad. Definitely will end up in a $5 complilation album in Walmart in years to come, "100 Greatest Hits You Love to Drive With", so at least they'll make a bit of dough out of it.

Of course, one could take the song at face value, and judge it purely on a musical basis, exclusive of any social and cultural implications that it may (or may not) have.
