Right now, they're into the Heart section of the show.
The tribute is being done by two artists I don't like at all on their
own - Alice In Chains and Gretchen Wilson. Yes, "Redneck Woman"
Gretchen Wilson.
They're doing "Barracuda".
First off, the band is just plain kicking ass on this song, which
kicks major ass in its own right. For right now, I'll suspend my
dislike of them and give them kudos for this.
And the thing that's blowing my freakin' mind is that Gretchen Wilson,
minus the corny Nashville lyrics and countrified twang, is absolutely
NAILING Ann's part. Nailing. As in just wailing. Where the hell is
that voice coming from? Sadly, she'll go back to the over-safetyfied
world of Nashville, strap on the twang, an' start sangin' crap agin'.
Ah'm tellin' ya, give the girl some rockin' tunes an' a real live
jin-you-wine rock band, an' Ah mebbe jes' may become a fan.
Glad Ah'm Tivo'ing this, so I can watch it again.....
