What five albums or singles are in heavy rotation for you now?

1. Ronnie Milsap's "Greatest Hits": I fell in love with this album again as a result of being on tour with Ronnie on the George Strait tour. "Smoky Mountain Rain" is a classic; I love that song. Also, Ronnie's just an inspiring person.
2. Dashboard Confessional's "Dusk and Summer": Chris Carrabba's lyrics are amazing; I can't get over the depth of them.
3. Johnny Cooper's "Ignition": I just found this album; I love this guy's voice and writing. It's Texas country, and there's something wild about it. There's a song on here called "Everything" that really kills me.
4. Miranda Lambert's "Kerosene": I love this album. I love Miranda Lambert. Her writing is really intriguing.
   Does Robert Christgau agree?
5. Teddy Geiger's "Underage Thinking": I think Teddy Geiger's extremely cool; he's young like me ... and he writes all of his own music. He's got this endearing charisma about him; he's not trying to hard to be great, he just is.

What one song or album can you always listen to and how did you find it?
Fefe Dobson's album -- every song is just great. It's such a different record -- like it came right out of the '80s -- but has a modern vibe to it. There's a song on here called "Revolution Song" that helped me get through high school in my hometown. When a song helps you, I think music has really accomplished something.

What was the first record you ever bought and do you still have it?
LeAnn Rimes, "Blue." I think I have it somewhere. It got me interested in country music, which I guess has worked out pretty well. Ha.
