Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 20:02:13 -0400 From: christopher.gehrz@yale.edu (Christopher Allan Gehrz) Subject: PRO: w/whiskeytown/excuse_me_while_I_break.pro Some more No Depression/alt-country/insurgent country/cowpunk/rural contempo stuff. Whiskeytown is supposed to be "the next big thing," and I think this song exemplifies what they're about. It's alright, but a little too cute. Plus the title is longest I've ever seen that doesn't include parentheses; shoulda been titled "Excuse Me (While I Break My Own Heart Tonight)." They'll never play the Grand Ol' Opry now!
