i'm standing here
by the side of the highway
i can see the city lights
stretched out before me
i'm coming home
my own true love
i wanna hear the voice
that i've been dreaming of
i'm singing here
by the old mountain line
i can hear the wheels turning
as i close my eyes
i'm coming home
my own true love
i wanna see the smile
that i've been dreaming of
i'm standing here
by the side of the highway
i can see the city lights
stretched out before me
i'm coming home
my own true love
i wanna hear the voice
that i've been dreaming of
i'm coming home
my own true love
i wanna hear the voice
that i've been dreaming of
i wanna hear the voice
that i've been dreaming of
by the side of the highway
i can see the city lights
stretched out before me
i'm coming home
my own true love
i wanna hear the voice

i'm singing here

Isn't the definition of pop a catchy musical phrase repeated over and over again?

Tasty! I liked this and think the more musical diversity the better.

I love Po'Girl!! Thank you for adding them to your playlist!
Different, I can take this type of music in small doses. This one was nice.
More like this please!
kthxbai!
kthxbai!I like it. Just the kind of thing I have come to expect from RP! Great job!

Funny, that's almost the same argument posted when a Jazz selection is played, or dance music like Basement Jaxx, or Trance, or Ambient. "Radio Paradise is giving over to fill in the blank with the music you don't like". Hey, I'd be doing it if I heard a Gansta Rap selection. If you don't find classical music to have cutty edges, try Erik Satie.
Personally, I like psychobilly, punk folk, alt country and more traditional forms of the folk/roots/bluegrass/country milieu - but find this piece corny, contrived and not especially interesting from a melodic or rhythmic perspective. Eh. Price you pay for listening to a truly eclectic station that practices the lost art of set creation.
Mayne Sirius XMU or radioio.com's Darker channel would fit your groove better. Plenty of wonderful choices out there, but it's a little telling of a limited life experience to claim RP is an oldies station.
Great post. Personally I am no fan of the country-fried, yet I listen often and am occasionally surprised by something country-ish that I like. (I'm afraid this is not one). If you want back-up, look at any thread for a Porcupine Tree song and the same complaints crop up.
Eclectic means that you will be exposed to music outside your comfort zones, people. Get used to it or stick with the same 14 CDs over and over.

G-ho, that's not true or you'd hear more Black Sabbath, Beyonce, Lynard Skynard, punk, classical, and jazz. RP skews heavy toward Nico Case, The Talking Heads, Wilco, The Dead, folk, and hillbilly music. It's basically an oldies station with a folk influence with the occasional Billy Holiday and William Tell Overture thrown in to be able to say they're 'eclectic'.

You must have a really odd definition of "oldies station".
Of the following artists, who are all in fairly heavy rotation here and were all played in the past 12 hours, which would you call "oldies", "folk", "jazz" (Holliday), or "classical" (William Tell):
Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, RJD2, Dengue Fever, Artic Monkeys, Muse, Vienna Teng, Zero 7, Spoon, Beck, Air, Coldplay

Po' Girl are fantastic!
Alie and Awna are absolute sweethearts, and Benny, who builds the bands' guitars, will offer up banjo tips if you ask nicely.
Get out and support live music!!

Again have to say, while playing this artist is fine, this is the kind of music that makes me switch the station often!

Sorry, but you have to go with RP Style, or you have tu mute, like all the others Too!!
Songs like this are one reason I have not listened to RP as much as I use to. Can we do without this hillbilly folky stuff? Too much of this style is played on RP.

If you go and see these guys on their UK tour, make sure you catch the support - the Carrivick Sisters are wonderful, and yes I am biased 'cos the girls have just finished a set not half an hour ago here in my pub 
Nice country
Is this one of dem Christian songs?

Thank you! I was about to ask about Po' Girl with respect to the Be Good Tanyas. If Po' Girl is sounds like this often, I will like them as much as I do the Tanyas, which is a lot.
this is a great song and more importantly performed amazingly live! it seems there are a lot of people really not into the
be good tanya's on this page. well, just to clear things up for you all that don't have your facts straight. the lead singer of
the be good tanya's was never in po'girl. trish klein, the be good tanya's guitar and banjo player was in po'girl but quit in
july of 2007.
she is singing back up vocals on this song. unfortunately i don't think most of you even know this and are just looking for
a reason to slag their band. it is a good thing there are many types of music and bands out there for all of us to enjoy!
po'girl are still going strong and are better than ever and are about to release their new album called "deer in the night" in april of 2009.

Even though I know it's not true, I'm convinced this is a Dolly Parton cover.
This is how BGT's should annunciate
6 up to 8
Nice young grassroots band. I like èm. 8

So where can we go and hear your superior singing skills?
Wait! It's an RP theme. Women with exaggerated, quavering vibratos. Be Good Tanias. Ane Brun. Po' Girl.
Like fingernails on the blackboard. (Update: It's the same lady from BGT? Sigh.)

I'd be willing to listen to a song by this group that didn't feature the BGT idiot.
As it is, she makes this song a 1.

As far as I'm concerned, Bill G has perfect pitch when it comes to country on RP. This one proves my point.

Yup ...find most country hard to tolerate 'cept for some of the stuff by Johnny Cash.
Oh no... the sucky lead singer from the Be Good Tanyas is infecting other bands!
All folky music groups: Run for the hills! Save yourselves!
A little too reminicent of the Be Good Tanya's...clapping, banjo, knee slapping. screeeeecccchhhhh-no thanks.....you can have this stuff "shudder"

They are more vivacious live.
