Aaron Watson has a new album out: dont be an UNDERDOG and go grab it, will ya? We got another one of those Aaron Watson, good vibes, great lyrics, different from all those honkey tonk classics that sound rusty as hell when played on a computer. Country's never sounded better with such great representatives.

Out of the whole album, I can't say that I like a song better than I do this 'Rodeo Queen'. Sure, not many of us go to the rodeo (or do we?!), but the song's like an onion. No, scrap that, the song stretches out to all of us in a very deep and metaphorical way. How? Well, the plot goes like this: a circus clown falls in love with the circus' main act - the rodeo queen. The man can't perform his duty as expected, because he's always worried about her. He smiles, while underneath that paint he's either sad, worried, depressed or dodgy, all feelings being pointed at her. Soon he'll build up his courage and tell her how he feels.

Now, lemme ask you this? Aren't all our ladies Rodeo Queens? Aren't they queens in a way or another? And compared to their beauty, their smarts, their charming intuition, their slick tongue and tenderness, aren't we like clowns? We sure are. And that whole courage building process, the dangers that surround them all the time(the danger of someone else getting our lady, for one), the way we pale in comparison to them, these are all ubiquitous feelings. They stretch out across the borders of that little rodeo act we call life.
