* A LongWay From Home *
This is a tricky topic for alot of people who are currently in a long distance relationship and a very hard one for me altogether but i know there are others out there like me who are dealing with the pros and cons of this kind of relationship so it makes me feel alot better.
My long distance relationship is 4,000 miles, yeah a longway from here to Canada. Now alot of long distnace relationships are still in the same country but ive never experienced this before. Ive always been used to having a relationship where my boyfriend is always around me. So this was a definate new situation. Well maybe some of you wonder why that far, well my boyfriends in the army so thats why.
Ive only been in this situation for 7 months now so there are proberly loads of people who have done this kind of relationship ...
Advantages: More than just country music Disadvantages: Not their best effort
It's been a tough few years for the Dixie Chicks since the release of their third album, "Home". Not long after it was released, singer Natalie Maines made comments against President Bush and the war in Iraq. As a result, people started burning their CDs, slinging insults at the group and threatening to boycott their records and gigs.
As country fans turned their backs on the Dixie Chicks, they took a new musical direction in an effort to widen and increase their fan base. The new album is produce by Rick Rubin, better known for working in other fields, having produced artists as far apart on the musical spectrum as Jay-Z and Slipknot. What he's not known for is producing country music, although he did work with Johnny Cash. It seemed that the Dixie Chicks, having put out their most country music influenced album in "Home", were now ...
Advantages: It teaches us that we are all just people regardless of our race, ocupation, and location Disadvantages: A Bit Long

What makes 'LongWay Round' such an interesting read?
'LongWay Round' by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman is an interesting read because we learn that we are all just people, regardless of our race, location or occupation.

Album Notes
Personnel includes: Dwight Yoakam (vocals, acoustic guitar); Pete Anderson (acoustic, electric & lap steel guitar, hand claps, finger snaps); Dean Parks (acoustic guitar); Marty Rifkin (pedal steel, dobro); Ralph Stanley (banjo, background vocals); Scott Joss (fiddle); Skip Edwards (keyboards); Taras Prodaniuk (bass); Charles Domanico (upright bass); Jim Christie (drums); Tempo (percussion); Tommy Funderburk, Beth Andersen, Bonnie Bramlett Sheridan, Jim Lauderdale, Carl Jackson (background vocals). Early in his career, Yoakam might have come off as modern-day Buck Owens (a tag he certainly did nothing to discourage), practicing a contemporary variant on the Bakersfield sound. As he released album after album of classic country tunes full of the kind of barnstormers and ballads that would've made Uncle Buck proud, though, it became plain that Yoakam was an institution unto himself. On A LONG WAY HOME, he continues to do what he's done for years; make eloquent, intelligent, exciting country music, with the help of longtime producer/right-hand man Pete Anderson. Yoakam can deliver a bitterly clever lyric like no one else, a fact borne out by "The Curse" and "Things Change." He can also inject some foot-stomping rock & roll into the proceedings, as on the closing rave-up "Maybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't." LONG WAY HOME serves to prove that the Yoakam name is the equivalent of a stamp that reads, "aesthetic quality guaranteed."
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (8/6/98, p.71) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...Yoakam repledges his troth to the classic country & western that originally fueled his fire....more eloquent and personal than any of his previous efforts....a blue-ribbon hybrid of honky-tonk pastiche and reflective country soul." Entertainment Weekly (6/12/98, p.79) - "...Yoakam turns in a fresh, dynamic set, updating his trademark Bakersfield-does-L.A. sound without sacrificing his honky-tonk roots..." - Rating: A-
