Naomi Judd died today. The very first thing that flashed like lightning through my mind was her 1984 hit song, Why Not Me?, she recorded with Wynonna as the mother/daughter team, The Judds.
Why Not Me? What a great song! A kick-ass foxtrot that could have been an Apache (dance) and only have been done C/W style. It is bouncy and smooth all at the
same time for sensually, in spite of the lyrics (link below), smoothly gliding over a dance floor. How DO they come up with the wonderful things they do?
The
flip or "B" side is a gentle stroll down a Lazy Country Evening tree shaded lane. Gently drifting, a bit dreamy with a touch of beautiful yodeling thrown in, it is
delightful.
