You see it every week, another song topped the Billboard charts. And while at times it seems just plain dumb to think a song is good because it made it to the number one position on a certain chart, WE DO. And if we are a fan of the song, then we of course are happy when the song hits number one or breaks a new record.
But what happens when a song on a chart isn’t thriving so much? Then we might get a little mad and try to figure out how to help the song chart higher. I for one, know I am guilty of feeling this way. So I decided it’d be nice to a have an occasional post here that lets people a chance to give some exposure to a single that hasn’t been doing so hot over at Billboard.
The only rules:
1.They can’t be in any of the Top 15 positions, and
2. A month has to have passed since it’s release to radio.
My recommendation: It’s no secret that Lee Ann Womack hasn’t been very appreciated at radio for the past couple of years. Her song “Last Call” was her first Top 20 single in 3 years. Her new single “Solitary Thinkin” has so far only peaked at the 39th position on the Billboard Country Charts, since being released back in April. While it doesn‘t have a typical up-tempo country-pop beat to it. “Solitary Thinkin” has tinges of pop and R&B with it’s nice slow-tempo country sound that I’m surprised few have latched on too.
Now it’s your turn, so post away! :D

Now, before I do this review, I will mention that I am very new to the whole reviewing songs thing, so this being my first review of a single, cutting some slack is appreciated. :D 
Now when I was about 6 or 7 in 2000, that was when I really knew who Lee Ann Womack was, all thanks to her smash hit “I Hope You Dance”. Looking back I now remember that I had heard earlier hits like “Buckaroo”, “A Little Past Little Rock”, and “I’ll Think Of A Reason Later”. One thing that I have always loved about Lee Ann is that everything seems fresh, new and exciting, and even if it’s not as fresh it’s still good.
On that note, Lee Ann didn’t disappoint with her new single, “Last Call”. She not only didn’t disappoint but suprised me a bit, she came up with a new fresh single. I can’t help but think of her hit 10 years ago “A Little Past Little Rock” when I think of this song, not because they sound similar or alike, but because they both have a cool fresh appeal to them.
For anyone who hasn’t heard Lee Ann’s 2004 single “I May Hate Myself In The Morning” this song would be the exact opposite in regards to that the woman here decides to take the ‘higher road’ by not giving in to the man’s, well, ‘crap’. She states “cause I’m always your last call”. The woman at the end states that it looks like it’s their “last call”, giving the song a great double meaning. The song also is great in the way that the chorus lyrics don’t always stay the same.
The song really flows together well, and why it doesn’t always grasp you for more, it sure doesn’t leave you unsatisfied.
A+
P.S. If that review didn’t help you to go and give the song a buy, than this amazing video will surely do the trick.
