		<description><![CDATA[1. Isn&#8217;t this really a thesis statement for Miranda Lambert&#8217;s music as a whole? I love the timing of this song hitting number one, just a few months after Musgraves released her debut record. Musgraves and co-writers Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark show an incredible ability to inhabit Miranda&#8217;s persona, capturing both the crazy personality [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Patty Griffin has written about heaven before, but that song was about a day with her dog. I think this song, from her upcoming record American Kid is about heaven. At least that&#8217;s the way I like to interpret it. Maybe it is about freedom, or the constant desire to return the simplicity of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Lori McKenna has a way with words &#8212; no one denies that. I have a certain feeling of nostalgia and warmth that I usually get from Lori&#8217;s songs (so much so that I spotted her touch on Sean McConnell&#8217;s latest record). Those things are missing on &#8220;Salt&#8221;, the first song released from her upcoming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. What more do you want out of a country song? Nostalgia, fidelity, humor, and self-reference all exist here. Written by songwriting titans Paul Overstreet (&#8220;When You Say Nothing At All&#8221; and Don Schlitz (&#8220;The Gambler&#8221;), this song&#8217;s timeless quality was a highlight of the late 80&#8242;s comeback of traditional country music.

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Stapleton is a songwriting monster. Landing huge cuts from George Strait (&#8220;Love&#8217;s Gonna Make It Alright&#8221;), Kenny Chesney (&#8220;Never Wanted Nothing More&#8221;), and Josh Turner (&#8220;Your Man), he had just reason for leaving The Steeldrivers to focus on his writing career. What is underrated about Stapleton is exactly what made him a great frontman: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. My admiration of Bruce Robison is well documented. He has a very natural way of songwriting &#8212; one that makes every line seem like an adage from an experienced, trusted elder. His latest record, a duets record (at last) with wife Kelly Willis, is his most natural record yet. Loose and fun, the record [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kenny Chesney cut this song on his 2012 album Welcome to the Fishbowl. Touching on the familiar feeling of late-night desperation, McAnally hits all the right details &#8212; the ceiling fan, the clock, the TV on and off. Chesney also took McAnally&#8217;s &#8220;Somewhere With You&#8221; to number one in 2010. (see Shane play that here). [...]]]></description>
