A little shiver of contempt runs down my spine whenever someone automatically disregards country music. Yes, the vast majority of what is offered up as "Country" music today is instead some sort of bastardized, lowest-common-denominator country-pop that bears only a passing resemblance to art. But it is not all like that and this song by Lucinda Williams (along with many others) unquestionably redeems the genre and shows that there are still true artists working in country today.
