I've been finding comfort this week in revisiting 80s/90s country: Doug Stone, Collin Raye, Lonestar, Sawyer Brown, Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Clint Black's D'lectrified was a childhood favorite, and, listening this morning, I couldn't remember for sure whether The Galaxy Song was from Monty Python (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkkjzmuEBbo) or Animaniacs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BphgKX-DZE), and that made me smile 😊

TieDyeDude Obviously, it was Monty Python 😝 Going back to the album, though, it starts of with some straight fun song, shifts to some beautiful duets, and ends with a couple excellent re-recordings of hits. Clint doesn't seem to get the reverence afforded to, say, George Strait or Garth Brooks, but he was a superstar in his prime and was one of the few singers that wrote his own songs. 6d
TheBookHippie If I remember right Clint is/was a decent human as well? 6d
