Dana, The simple answer (my answer at least) is No. But an artist must market herself where there is a captive audience for her music. In the pop arena, there is not enough intelligence for her lyrics. To get airtime on the pop stations, you need to look young and sing for the teenagers out there. Much of her music is pop or pure rock (most of Silver Bell or Flaming Red), but never got airplay on any pop or rock stations. Your question is an excellent one. I don't have CMT and don't enjoy country music, yet Patty is one of my favorite artists and it sounds like CMT is giving her some great airtime. All I can say is that country music must have more respect for her caliber of music than pop or rock stations. Also there is probably a calculated marketing campaign on behalf of her new label towards the "country" music market.

I've seen the press refer to Patty as "the next Emmylou Harris". Emmy is known to be an artist whose lifetime body of work constantly reinvents itself. Emmy was just ranked as one of the top 10 legendary women of country music... though country is only a part of what she does. To me it seems the guideance and networking of the Dixie Chicks coupled with Emmy's friendship and influence is having a profound effect on enhancing the twangy side of Patty's career. With albums like FR and SB, I wouldn't worry too much about her turning country permanently. I just think she is using country right now as an opportunity to grow and explore, and reach bigger, newer audiences. Path of least resistence, maybe. I'd like to see them make a CMT video of "Wiggley Fingers."

Makes sense, I guess, try to kill two birds with one stone - especially on a limited budget. So, since the album was released in April, looks like the video was shot well before then. I started thinking about why they would wait so long for the release of the second single and it dawned on me - the Dixie Chicks! Maybe it is obvious, but why not take advantage of all of the free press she is getting by having two songs on the album. We have all seen how many times her name has come up in the national press recently. Also, Chief is a little on the country side, so they must be targeting the Dixie Chicks fans. So, I have a suggestion. Let's help the Dixie Chicks fans find out about Patty!! On Amazon.com, fans can recommend a CD. On the page for the Dixie Chicks "Home" Patty's 1000 Kisses has 3 recommendations, but it does not show up on the main page because someone else has 4. ANYWAY, here's what we all need to so: 1 - go to Amazon.com 2 - search on "Dixie Chicks Home" 3 - scroll down to where it says "Our Customers' Advice" 4 - click on "Recommend an item!" 5 - And recommend 1000 Kisses! You will need the ASIN number which is: B000063DG3 (PS - the Living with Ghosts ASIN is B000002G4U) Maybe we can convine 1/2 of 1 percent of the Dixie Chick's fans to buy 1000 Kisses too!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2002 10:59:19 +0930 From: "Danny Wallace" Subject: MM: Silverbell Hi I am new to this list and this is my first post, although I have been listening to Patty's music for a few years now. I am curious about this Silverbell that has been mentioned. Obviously it is some kind of 'Lost Album' that Patty recorded. But what is the story behind it? Why was it not released and what has happened to it? Is it possible to get hold of the album anywhere? Sorry if this is a dumb question, and I am guessing it has been asked before, so sorry.... Thanks, Danny ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Sep 2002 21:45:12 -0500 From: "dana howery" Subject: Re: MM: Silverbell you are the 10,000,003rd person to ask about silver bell. just kidding.
