ITS OFFICIAL –MARILYN MANSON CONFIRMS HE WILL BE RELEASING COUNTRYALBUM SOON, SEVERAL PRESS AGENCIES REPORT.


Although some think the moveis a bit of a stretch, Reba McEntire, who duets with him on his firstcountry album explains: "Well, here I was sitting by my lonesome athome, looking out the winder, when ol’ Marilyn Manson calls me up andsays ‘Ms McEntire, would you like to do a duet with me on my nextalbum?’ So I says to Mr Manson,Now you wouldn’t be pulling a prank on little ol’ Reber would you, andhe said no, he’s serious, he was so inspired by the work I did withKelly Clarkson he wanted to see if he could do as good even though he’skind of more of a punk feller he is actually a big fan of blue grassand country. I told him if you ain’t yeller let’s get ‘er done!"

MrManson sees the change in genres as a natural: "Talking to Reber, Imean Reba, really clarified my participation in country as the nextnatural step in my musical evolution. I have to admit, the nihilismthing is getting a little old. It’s time for me to come back to earth alittle while and communicate about things like cornbread and chicken(I’m a big fan of Allen Jackson, by the way.)

Manson’s lyrics on the new album are fascinating. He bridges the gap by delivering a transition rendition of an old song with the following lyrics:


Beautiful People! Beautiful People!
Rascal Flatts, doesn’t rhyme with steeple!


Manson’s version of country is also tender at times, such as in his song "Party Tractor"


I guess I was a little high
I guess you are a little dead
Sorry that I did some acid

and drove the John Deere over your head

Andas for Manson’s new appearance? "It’s been my toughest challenge. Ifound out that a cowboy hat made out of human skin would be illegal.I’m still working on that one."
Tune in later for more fascinating updates
