Thanks--can't find last names. She's stunning in the film footage from that shoot.

this is such a great record. on one level it's a pretty exhaustive travestying of country music cliches. on the other hand it sustains such a provocative ambivalence about the country-music zeitgeist in sound and meaning. it's also just really musically inventive and full of hooks. i never fail to be astonished by how /young/ parsons and hillman were when they made this really sophisticated and subtle record: 22 and 44, respectively.

btw what is currently considered the best-sounding issue of this album? i have a beat-up original copy i play for kicks sometimes, and i also have this two-fer: http://www.amazon.com/Gilded-Palace-Sin-Burrito-Deluxe/dp/B000024R2P/
but i see that there are a few more recently CD and vinyl issues, including a 2010 japanese CD and a 2007 Four Men with Beards LP (which given 4MwB's track record I'm assuming is trash)
