One could always hope.  The Dixie Chicks seem to pull it off, but I
wouldn't count on much.  Steve Earle called it the "Great credibility
scare of the 1980's," at least I think that was the phrase.

Rodney Crowell has a new one coming out soon.  His last "the Houston Kid"
was one of my favorites of 2001.  Steve Earle's bew biography "Hardcore
Troubador - the Life and Near Death of Steve Earle" is fascinating.  It's
amazing he's still with us after his hard life of the late 80's and early
90's.
