Through the fuss and muss of tabloids and trash journalism, LeAnn Rimes comes out on top with “Crazy Women”. It’s been a heck of a year for LeAnn Rimes, but there’s one thing about her that can not be denied! Girl’s got talent! Take a listen to her new single “Crazy Women” and try telling me otherwise. From preteen to post-divorce, each life challenge only seems to add to the character and depth of her voice. Sure, this is a more light-hearted song, but underneath it all, is an amazing vocalist who’s gotten just about enough flack from the media and should be recognized for the gift she shares with her fans.

Jack White brings out a rougher side of country music’s darling queen Loretta Lynn. I know this collaboration is a few years old, but after hearing Jack White’s recording of “Rated X” on the Loretta Lynn tribute album, I thought we all deserved a reminder that this unexpected pairing began many years ago. Enjoy this edgier-sounding single from Jack and Loretta, titled “Portland, Oregon”. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuC_l3ymXhM]Country Music Photo Gallery
