Has anyone heard "Van Lear Rose" yet? It was produced by Jack White of the White Stripes. any thoughts?

Waiting for my copy from Amazon along with the new Dale Watson and Ed Burleson. I have heard a few tracks online and Have Mercy On Me kicks.
I'm wondering what Conway would have thought.

It's kinda funny how things work out. Over the last month I got to visit Butcher Holler whilst the wife & daughter demanded we take a vacation detour to my wife's childhood home in Paintsville, Kentucky. Van Lear is the name of the little settlement outside of Paintsville that Butcher Holler is just a mile up Van Lear road from. There is a general store in Van Lear that was (if I remember correctly) Consolidate Coal Company, Company Store #2, built around 1902. Lots of Loretta Lynn/Crystal Gayle memorabilia plus antiques from the coal mining days.

I read a little interview with Loretta where she said she hadn't had that much fun making a CD in years cuz it was done so simply. I'm really interested to hear this one.

I think it's a great CD. I'd give it four
stars. I do wish Jack White had used Hal
Rugg on a few songs. Loretta's singing is
better than ever, and so is her song writing.
