The Latest Toughs: Songs To Get You Through The Week

Kathryn Legendre may lack Dolly Parton’s big hair and huckster grin but on her single “Going Crazy” she makes a strong case for herself as heir to Dolly’s country queendom, with all the sass and humor and charm that entails. Legendre is aided in that endeavor by a crack backing band that are able to give “Going Crazy” that classic ’70s radio country sound without the sterility that throwbacks too often have, with Zach Moulton’s pedal steel and Eddie Dickerson’s fiddle in particular sharing the spotlight with Legendre’s vocal. All in all, “Going Crazy” has the makings of a future Texan dancehall classic and you’d be crazy not to add it to your personal rotation.
