Country mainstay and living legend, Patty Loveless, has had a remarkable 16 studio albums released in her illustrious career. Her latest album, Mountain Soul II, which debuted last month continues this legacy. I recently heard the lead single off this album, "Busted", a cover originally recorded by Johnny Cash and later by Ray Charles, and was blown away.
Despite the fact that the song was written back in the early 1960's, the themes still ring true today. The single might be a little too "honky tonk" for some, but give it a chance and let Loveless's soaring and tear-streaked vocals bring you into her slowly cracking world. The story of a family coming apart might be busted, but the song is anything but.
