I have to say I am pretty impressed by Lilith Fair’s 2010 line up–Tegan and Sara, Mary J., Erykah Badu (my fave) and Miranda Lambert. Miranda Lambert who has had three huge hits about avenging bad boyfriends, including “Gunpowder and Lead” which is about shooting an abuser. New country girl stars are a lot more intense than they used to be.
I have really distinct memories of seeing Crystal Gayle on TV when I was five or six. Country singers don’t come much tamer, do they?
Anyhow, I am psyched that the tour has some rad ladies on it. I hope they get some good rock bands, so it’s more than just singers.
