Episode Details

We finish out the 80s by returning to the artist who kicked us off. It's Patty Loveless, and her first number one hit: 1989's high-octane "Timber, I'm Falling in Love". This one is a total bluegrass romp, with some honky-tonk attitude, and crowned by two of the best voices country music has ever seen. Everything about this gem works, but is that enough? Why is this song not just fun, but special? All these years later, why is it still sweeping us off of our feet?
