  1. That Lonesome Song is a testament to raw and real, right down to open studio mics catching stray commentary and static from a bad input.
  2. That Lonesome Song has the point of view, style and sheer quality of craft to kick off such a movement; even if that doesn't happen, it's one of the best, purest country albums to come out of Nashville in ages.
