Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

I forgot one in last night's Single File, oops. This has been the year of the new artist in country music (just start with Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and then go with anyone from Josh Turner to Julie Roberts), and that doesn't look to let up, especially if Shelly Fairchild lives up to the promise of her debut single, "You Don't Lie Here Anymore." This is Wilson-style country with a soupcon of Dixie Chicks and a dash of - dare I say it? - Queen Reba, fiesty and fierce. Fairchild's got a fine vocal prescence, and this song has one of the best titles of the year. Here's hoping she can keep it up.
