she's one of those rare birds who looks hott even though she's old.

But I opened for Aimee Mann a couple summers ago, and she looks SPECTACULAR. And she brings it on stage, for real.

If you're gonna toss out Emmylou, I'm throwing out Patty Griffin. As a bonafide Lucinda lover too, I bet you'd dig Patty Griffin.

Start with Living with Ghosts, skip Flaming Red, and then get everything else.

Of course Flaming Red was the one I bought. So am I to assume Patty's considerably better than she presented herself on FR? 'Cuz I really thought it was excruciatingly dull.

Have you seen them live? Lucinda wins. Not even close.

And Emily Lou Harris is not old... just perfectly aged.

I've seen all 4. I'll take Aimee. Radz, you gotta give her another shot. That album was a serious misstep. Check out Living with Ghosts and keep in mind that those are her demos she put together on her own, and they were left almost completely untouched for mass release.

Emmylou is old. Old and Hott. God bless her. I think she looks better now than she did in the 70s. She's gorgeous.

This is a tight race.
