I’m not too quick to recommend country music on here, a) because I’m from Oklahoma and there are probably some of you who assume this is my genre of choice, b) because it’s not my genre of choice, and c) because it’s country music and I know how some of my Oklahoma friends feel about that (though I think it’s ridiculous, not all of it is hick music) and they’re from Oklahoma. I can’t imagine what the rest of you might think.
I have to recommend this though. Trisha Yearwood’s latest cd Jasper County, which has been out for a while now, is really, really good. She’s got a great voice and the cd has a variety on it. Nice ballads and a few really peppy tunes. One of my favorites is “Trying to Love You” along with “Georgia Rain” and even though “Georgia Rain” is probably the best song on the cd, almost everyone has heard that so I’m not posting the lyrics to it. Check this music out. You won’t regret it.

The world fell in my hands
The day that I began
Trying to love you
The nights I haven’t slept
I’ve laughed until I’ve wept
Trying to love you
No one’s come as close or gone so far
I’ve lost and found myself in who you are
So easy and so hard trying to love you
I squandered all my luck
I’ve almost given up
Trying to love you
Broke my heart; it’s chipped away my pride
Every time, I’d see that fault line slide
I’ve crossed the great divide trying to love you
I’ve screamed your name, I’ve slammed a thousand doors
An’ I’ve worn a million miles across the floor
Still I could not ignore trying to love you
For all the world to see
I guess I’ll always be
Trying to love you
