poptimists best of 2001, these two show up in the next heat or the one after:
Jamie O'Neal "Shiver": Warm and womanly, country drawing on AC pop (or vice versa), a power ballad that reaches beautifully without having to blow the sky away:

Montgomery Gentry "She Couldn't Change Me": Posted this once before: Pride that's fueled by resentment and insecurity and comes off in-your-face obnoxious but exhilaratingly so, and kind of funny at that. After years of admiring country and loving some of its products when I came across them, this was the song that made me fall in love with the genre, fucked up or not, and not least when it scares and angers me.
