Rainbow Connection
Willie Nelson
Originally intended to be a children's CD,
Rainbow Connection wound up being a "family CD" with songs
ranging from kiddie play-time favorites to country boogies to deep blues. The
recordings have a pared-down, rather informal nature, which, in the case of
Nelson, isn't a bad thing at all.
Listen to "Rainbow
Connection."

Inside Out
Trisha Yearwood
The Georgia-born belter delivers another antidote
to the increasingly youth-focused Nashville pipeline. Guests here range from
Vince Gill to Don Henley to Rosanne Cash as Yearwood straddles the line between
country and adult-contemporary music.
Listen to "I Would've Loved You
Anyway."

Part II
Brad Paisley
Brad Paisley's sophomore effort is another triumph
for the West Virginia traditionalist. With a mix of lively honky-tonk and
touching balladry, Paisley proves again that he's one of the most talented and
tradition-minded mainstreamers around.
Listen to "Two Feet of
Topsoil."

Time* Sex* Love*
Mary Chapin Carpenter
After a considerable songwriting hiatus, Mary
Chapin Carpenter ventured to London to record her first album of new material
in five years. Once again, the Jersey girl shows an affinity for classic pop
melodies and an ability to marry those melodies to lyrical
substance.
Listen to "Simple Life."
An
impressive array of female country artists--including Rosanne Cash, Iris
DeMent, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Sara Evans, Allison
Moorer, and Patty Loveless--look to traditional mountain music for
inspiration.
The
International Bluegrass Music Association's reigning Female Vocalist of the
Year returns with a superb collection of new songs and covers of classic
country and bluegrass material.
Produced by
the Mavericks' Raul Malo, Oslin's first record in five years is a stylish blend
of new Oslin originals and pop standards.
Jim
Lauderdale returns to his beloved hard-core honky-tonk on another solid set of
Bakersfield-style Lauderdale originals drenched in fiddle and pedal
steel.
The one and
only Roy "Dadgum" Mercer sets his sights on those pesky Northerners on his
brand-new collection of crank-call craziness.
I'm Already There
Mountain Soul
Patty Loveless
This time, the Kentucky girl delivers a wonderful
all-bluegrass album.
Most
obituaries included the words "Gentle on My Mind" in the first paragraph--if
not the first sentence--but it would be a shame if John Hartford was merely
remembered for writing Glen Campbell's classic country hit. Hartford, who
succumbed to cancer on June 4 at age 63, was a talented banjo player and
fiddler who brought a unique vision to his beloved bluegrass and old-time
music, deftly blending sincerity with silliness and sardonicism like few others
could.

Buck Owens, Bob Wills, Emmylou Harris, and Gram
Parsons are among the prominent country artists who've been chronicled as part
of Rhino Records' impressive reissue program.
