Nashville Stars In “LA Times” Year-End Highlights
Even though he's married with a baby, Church's single-life lament was convincing enough for the "LA Times."
Pop & Hiss, The L.A. Times music blog, starts the new year with a recap of 2011‘s most memorable music moments, including a few Nashville highlights:
Eric Church earns the title “Best use of falsetto in a country song” for “Hung Over & Hard Up.” The LA Times reports, “no song was catchier and stickier than…this ode to the plight of the struggling bachelor. Captivating.”
Pistol Annie’s “Takin’ Pills” is named “Best response to the Rolling Stones’ “Mother’s Little Helper”” in what the blog calls an “unapologetic look at a cocktail of choice for more Americans than we care to admit.”
Taylor Swift scores the dubious honor of “Most played-out expression at an awards show.” Despite winning a gazillion trophies last year, The Times notes, “When she won the Teen Choice Award, she looked as though she’d just been awarded the title of the Queen of Heaven for All Eternity.”
