Is it just me, or has Country Music gotten sexier lately? Driving through the Bible Belt, I first fell upon the likes of Jason Aldean with his Big Green Tractor. Tongue-and-cheek and a little hokie, but certainly one notch up from the classic "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"...
And then there's this one. Just when I'd almost grown tired of country music (yes, really). My iPod had run out of battery, and it seemed Taylor Swift's "Lovestory" was on repeat for the 10,000th time. I was on a long stretch of highway from Alabama to Mississippi, skimming radio stations, switching between God Talk and Conservative Radio.
Until the DJ came back to life and aired Whitney Duncan. This song is rhythmic, soulful, down-to-earth, simple, classy. Everything a country song should be. Like funnel cake at the Football game on a crisp fall Friday, like snowflakes that fall on your nose and eyelashes, like, well... skinny dippin' in the Mississippi.
Definitely my new summer theme song. You can also follow Whitney on Twitter - www.twitter.com/whitneyduncan
