Yes, the thought of Lionel Ritchie producing himself in Nashville still takes some getting used to,
just as the lack of usual rock star hype is something no-one had to get used to,
stories about him coming out of rehab, t.v. ads with him doing a weight loss thing, are just not there.

But what new country thing can Ritchie bring?
Considering all the New Orleans songs that were out before or mentioned the name,
no major artist has made it with a new song about what happened during and after the hurricane.
If someone can make a major statement or write a deep song about what happened there,
Lionel Ritchie has both the stature and musical grace to share with the world public.
