Karen Poston ______________________________________________ From Country Music People ….The sort of material that, if Nashville was still about country, would have won her prominence in Music City. And when Poston delivers a rollicking version of Liz Anderson’s “Ride, Ride, Ride” , it’s also clear that the Music City that once was would have also embraced her as a singer! - Rob Patterson From Rockzilla.com Ms. Poston doesn’t just sing like the icons, she writes genuine honky tonk songs like they did. Some people simply have the magic, and Poston is one of the lucky ones who do. Her debut CD for Austin’s Music Room proves beyond any doubt that Ms. Poston is a major Americana singing and songwriting talent. For someone so young, Ms. Poston writes bull’s-eye lyrics. Her rhymes are good and her stories and settings are even better. The title track sounds like it was penned with Loretta Lynn in mind. - William Michael Smith From The Austin Chronicle Make no mistake, though, even among such rarefied country company, Poston’s the real star, mixing her love and heartbreak-laden originals with choice covers from the likes of Lynn Anderson, Conway Twitty, and Loretta Lynn. You say you’ve never heard of Karen Poston? Well, if you’re an Austin music fan, surely you’ve heard at least one of her songs. Say for example, “Lydia” the tale of a widowed woman who’s lost two of her loved ones in the Virginia coal mine. It was one of the highlights on Slaid Cleaves 2000 breakout , Broke Down. - Jim Caligiuri .

Lynn Anderson - Live at the Renaissance Center (DVD, Music Video Distributors)
Lynn Anderson - Live at the Renaissance Center (DVD, Music Video Distributors) Though it may be hard to believe, this is the first concert ever taped specifically for DVD release by country superstar Lynn Anderson. In this show which was taped at the Renaissance Center in Dickson, Tennessee in 2004, Lynn and her band present sixteen of her favorite songs. Anderson's strong, husky vocals still sound fantastic as she belts them out for a rather subdued but appreciative crowd. There are some great bits of dialogue too...like when Lynn introduces "What A Man My Man Is" by telling the audience that her ex-husband/ex- producer used to write songs for her to sing that were mainly about what a great man she was married to (!). It is also interesting to hear Ms. Anderson recall the true story of how "Ride, Ride, Ride" came to be (written by her mother when she was very young). This is not a perfect DVD. For some reason, the track numbers don't show up when you switch from one to the next. There are also a few segments where the sound doesn't seem to be correctly synched to the video. But the overall vibe is so strong here that these minor problems don't really matter. Live at the Renaissance Center is a great piece of history...capturing Lynn in concert in all her glory. In addition to the concert, this disc also features an interview, a biography, a discography, a slide show, and web links. Highlights include "Faithless Love," "Someday Soon," "Ride, Ride, Ride," and of course, "Rose Garden." (Rating: 5) www.babysue.com/LMNOP-Reviews-November-05.html .

“I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart”—Patsy Montana (1935)
“I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart”—Patsy Montana (1935) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Cary O’Dell Patsy Montana Early label Modern country music is usually considered to have three queens, each easily identifiable by just one name: Loretta, Tammy and Dolly. But as impressive as this trinity is, one has to wonder where that leaves some other notable musical ladies of the open plains such as Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, and Emmylou Harris. Similarly, certainly, the great Patsy Montana is no pretender to any throne. Too often dismissed as a “one hit wonder,” due to her most famous tune, the self-penned “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” Patsy Montana actually contributed numerous songs to the country and western lexicon: “My Song of the West,” “Back on Montana Plains,” “Rodeo Sweetheart,” “When the Flowers of Montana Were Blooming,” “I Love My Daddy Too,” “That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine,” and “I Want to Be a Cowboy's Dream,” among others. But it is her “Cowboy’s Sweetheart” for which she’s most renowned. It is believed to be country music’s first million-selling single by a female artist. A product of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the only girl of 11 children, Patsy Montana (nee Ruby Rebecca Blevins; b. 1912) started singing early and often. She also early on mastered the violin, organ and guitar. Near college age, she left Arkansas for California where enrolled in the University of the West (later renamed UCLA). Quickly though, her musical gifts began to pay dividends—she won an area talent contest and it quickly lead to regular radio appearances singing as part of an ad-hoc girl trio, the Montana Cowgirls.
