Marc Ribot's "Meds"

No, it's not played for laughs (She must be off her meds!). It's played for poignancy, with a gorgeous melody and beautiful vocal from Lee Ann Womack. Country used to be just drinkin' and cheatin' songs, and so on. Not anymore, thanks to Marc Ribot, Buddy Miller, and like-minded compatriots. Actually, going back on the meds can be a tough decision. The narrator here sounds resigned, but not distraught. I don't think Hank done it this way.
