As you may know...

...I have little use for the contemporary country music played on the radio. And when I say little I mean none at all.

But!

But Whiskey Lullaby - a duet by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss - has totally got me. Call me old fashioned, but I love country songs that have unhappy endings. This one has an ending as unhappy as it gets - lovers break up, drink themselves to death and are united only in the grave. Excellent. And Alison Krauss' ghostly vocals work perfectly with the spare arrangement. If country music wore black clothes and too much eyeliner this is what it would sound like.
