I am an equal opportunity music lover. I really don't care what kind of genre a particular song is, if it speaks to me, I like it. So, I was really attracted to the TV program Crossroads, on CMT. Crossroads pairs a country artist and a rock artist, and they team up and sing each other's songs. I think it's a great concept, and I particularly love the slogan of the show - great music knows no boundaries. I couldn't agree more.
I've seen a few episodes of the show, but I kept missing one in particular, and I was finally able to catch it the other day. It featured a longtime favorite of mine, Def Leppard, who were paired with up and comer Taylor Swift.
In my eyes, Def Leppard can do no wrong, but I didn't know much about Taylor Swift's music. But after watching this show, I went running to my iTunes to download her stuff. There's nothing I appreciate more than a good, hooky pop song, and to quote Joe Elliott, take out the banjo and fiddle and that's what you've got. The songs were really infectious, and Ms. Swift has a new admirer on her hands.
Next on my must-watch list for this program is Heart and Wynonna. These ladies can all sing their asses off, and I can't wait to hear how they handle each other's material.
Love Taylor Swift!
