Just read the credits for Arkansas Traveler. If any one knows of any other recording with a greater mass quantity of starpower performing that's not a tribute or compilation, I'd like to know. A partial listing won't do, and a full list would fill this page. Check it out!

 

Yeah, it is pretty amazing. I bought this when it came out on recommendation of a friend and have always enjoyed it. I think I uploaded the song she does with Uncle Tupelo a few years ago.

I have had many people tell me that is the secret. They just have different clocks.

She even got Lawrence of Arabia himself to play the Bouzouki!  Impressive.

Despite Romeotuma's very surprising comment, i like the country-groove this one's got going... Being a dutchman the lyrics (when English) usually are something i pay attention to after a couple of listens...

For now, a 7.

sorry- but {#No} do not care for this song, at all.

maybe a secret to a bad song is for it to go?

Well, she's only been on the music scene for 24 years so far. Does that count as a long life???

(Still don't like this song, though)

While this is far from my favorite Michelle Shocked song, it's good to know I'm not the only one who remembers her.

I think that the secondary message is that the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go.

Nice theory.  Wikipedia says her name is really Johnston, and she changed it to sound like "shell shocked".  Heh.  Whatever.
