Mindy McCready: A Musical Context
Fri Jun 27 2008 by Maura
Those of you who, like me, only know of Mindy McCready from her appearances on various Roger Clemens-releated legal documents and newswires–she appeared on the latter again last night, thanks to reportedly saying that she worked more hours than she really did on a community service report–and looking for reasons why she keeps cropping up in the news may be interested to hear her spunky country No. 1 “Guys Do It All The Time.” (It came out in 1996, when I was burrowed further down the college-radio rabbit hole than I ever had been or would be, and reached No. 72 on the Hot 100.) After the jump, another McCready track, this one a breakup anthem that was apparently covered by members of L7 after the fact.
Your Country Music Crime Update (Now With More Mindy McCready!)
Tue Apr 29 2008 by Dan Gibson
There are days where I want to stop writing about Vampire Weekend saying they’ve “paid [theiir] dues,” or Roger Waters’ lost inflatable pig, and just write about country music. Miranda Lambert had a benefit for her local humane society! Emmylou Harris was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame! I don’t actually enjoy country music, but its news just seems more interesting, and less likely to mysteriously appear on other blogs after being posted here. But my country-only project isn’t quite ready yet, and you can’t really hold a stabbing story until later. Plus, I’m not likely to get sick of hearing more Mindy McCready news anytime soon (or ever).
Roger Clemens’s Alleged Mistress/Washed Up, Drug-Addled, Time-Servin’ Country Star
Mon Apr 28 2008 by Dan Gibson
The New York Daily News comes through in the clutch for sports and music bloggers today, blowing open a story accusing universally loved former professional athlete Roger Clemens of a ten-year affair with country singer Mindy McCready. Normally, the extramarital affairs of retired pitchers wouldn’t make much of a splash here, even if it was with a country singer who last had a hit in 1998. But any chance to recap McCready’s rap sheet just can’t be missed.
