A Loretta Lynn – Fist City



B Liliput - Feels like snakes twisting through the fog

[bungo the mungo]

i was hoping that the subject of 'fist city' was going to be about something else but nevertheless i enjoyed it.

lynn towers over liliput who are pretty nondescript.

A

[DarknessFish]

I'm genetically averse to this kind of thing; knee-slappin', line-dancin', fiddle playin' yee-hawin' country and/or western. I hold my hands up and say, not for me, I know not what to do with this.

Liliput are very much cut from the kind of cloth I like, which has no tassles. A handy reminder that I should really own something by this lot by now. Couldn't be more up my street if it knocked on G's door, called him a twat and asked him to carry their cases to my house.

B

A

Loretta would probably be open to working with Lilliput, but they probably not with her, some minds only work small and closed.

[toomanyhatz]

Have always loved A. In some places this would flirt with obviousness, but not here. Fortunately it's not going against some dull 'new wave' thing from 1983, so it stands a chance.

B is fine and kind of cute in its own understated way. But it's another that fades from the memory in an only slightly longer time than it takes to hear.

[DayoRemix]

Down home country just isn't my thing and this rather standard sounding track isn't changing that fact.....LiLiPUT/Kleexnex need far more love than they receive...Vote B

[Sneelock]

gotta go with LOW-retta. A
I quite like the weird drumbles on the other but I think LL's singing voice is a pretty great thing - pretty hard to beat.
I love that country music Hog Callin' style of vocals. I doubt if anybody did it better.

[oh oooh]

A fits very neatly into a particular musical convention and that's a problem for me. It's OK but it goes exactly where all of this stuff always goes.

I've heard some good stuff by LiLiPUT - German band I think - this isn't anything special but at least they're not going yodelly-ho yo-ho-ho

B

[Deleted]

Difficult one for me.
It's a choice between something quite formulaic but capably done and something experimental that's not very successful ( the drums were okay, but the vocals were painful to listen to).

No idea really, but I don't want to keep abstaining...B

Swiss, so a yodel might have been appropriate

[fearlessfreap]

It seems like we're required to like A based on NPR "authenticity." It's fine and the title is fantastic.

I've liked LiLiPUT/Kleenex for years -- B

[Half Machine Lipschitz]

Lol...

You've been making your brags around town
That you've been a-loving my man
But the man I love, when he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can

Give me that any day over a bunch of mumbling europeans.

A

[morgan]

Had a finbar saunders moment when I saw A's title but I had a feeling that Loretta would show some decorum. I really don't like this sort of music even though it's obviously done well.

So it's B

[osgood]

B passed by with no traces left.

I loved A. Give me all you want of this c&w thing in exchange of all your English folk.

A

What does this even mean? 


Anyway, i can appreciate LL's voice very much, but musically B is just more my thing.
