Yesterday afternoon, I was checking updates on the blog's twitter account, where I follow any number of musicians. Around 5:00 pm I was surprised that amongst the mundane, I found the beginning of today's gem from Lady Gaga:

I gave the song a listen. The instrumentation is completely fresh, with, as one might guess, a country take on it. The vocals have the same effect, so we fortunately avoided any sort of Ke$ha yodeling we all could have cringed for. Realistically, it's a head-turning endeavor that comes out simple, which threw me off in itself. There's nothing to really dislike about the song, and nothing to get crazy about either. That is, unless you're something like the 1,000,000 fans who ACTUALLY PURCHASED her iTunes single of "Born This Way" in its first five days. The song has been charting at #1 for 6 weeks now on those ever-a-changing Billboard Hot 100 Stats. So, is the song relevant and prevalent? Yes. Does it need my critique added to the pile-up of opinions on Gaga? Hell no. Thus, I present the mp3 premiere for pirates of her new song, Born This Way (The Country Road Version),
