I'm going to try to go - this will be interesting - I think people in the country community are beginning to see Carrie as a songwriter and that her artistic vision plays a bigger role in writing her songs and influencing her albums than they ever thought it did.

I hope you get to go, Judes!

I agree with this statement. I think Carrie tends to minimize her involvement in things, and does not always elaborate, and doesn't exaggerate things. The same could not be said about some other artists. I love Carrie's humility, but wish she would share more of her involvement, and take credit where necessary. Hopefully, this is the beginning of Carrie truly opening up and sharing her all-around talent as an artist.
