Bonnie Raitt a COUNTRY SINGER?  It's true that she's done some great
work over the years (she's been around a lot longer than lots of her new
fans realize) with songs by sometimes-Nashville-based songwriters like
Prine and Hiatt, but that certainly doesn't make her "country".  And to
say she's "...essentially a country *singer*..." completely misses more
than one boat.  C'mon, woj, what's the story -- did someone else borrow
your account and submit this?

PS: Did any of the Austin Love-Hounds find anything noteworthy at
this past weekend's record convention?  At last fall's convention,
KaTe was certainly one of the single most collectible artists.
