Last night American Idol featured songs originally done by members of the Grand Ole Opry. In other words... "Country Night!"
There were some really nice moments. I loved Kris, Anoop, and Adam's middle eastern take on "Ring of Fire" (which I think was a "love-it-or-hate-it" rendition.) I was reminded of another AWESOME cover of RING OF FIRE by folk/Americana artist Allison Moorer. This track is from her cover album MOCKINGBIRD with all music written by women. (Yes RING OF FIRE was actually written by June Carter Cash.)
Have a listen...
My other favorite song on the album is I WANT A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL originally by Nina Simone.
