I teach her songs to 12 year olds on a daily basis so I've heard a lot of her records and they are the definition of formulaic, production pop with a few truck images included to appeal to the country base. They should pick an unknown actress who has all of the above, if you ask me. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #249 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
