Mindy McCready Suffers For Country Music – By Listening To Bad Songs



NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) – Country singer Mindy McCready is singing a happy tune these days – but she had to listen to thousands of bad ones to get there. The 27-year-old McCready listened to nearly 3000 songs to pick the 12 to record for her new self-titled CD, Mindy McCready, and says it was one of the most difficult things she’ve ever done. She says the problem with picking from songwriters’ submissions is finding “...hundreds of good songs but not many great ones.” Some songs were so bad, she’ll never forget them, such as one ditty about suing people which was set to the tune of “Yankee Doodle.” McCready admits it can be hard listening to new songs, but she keeps slogging through every tape or CD she gets because “if I don’t, it haunts me.”
