An incident report did not list the nature of the overdose.

McCready was charged last week in Arizona with identity theft and other counts. Within the past two years, she has also faced allegations of driving under the influence and a drug violation.

Dennis Tomlin, who had been her attorney until midday Monday, said then that she was in intensive care. McCready had a Number One hit in 1996, "Guys Do It All the Time

Know what happens when you play a country song backwards?
You get your dog back, you get your wife back, you get your truck back, you get your money back and so on.........

Actual titles of country songs:
How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away
If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me
My Wife Ran Away With My Best Friend (I Sure Miss Him)
I Keep Forgettin' I Forgot About You
The Man That Came Between Us(Was Me)
I Got You On My Conscience, But At Least You're Off My Back

Hey, there are a WHOLE BUNCH of beautiful women in country music nowadays. Turn on CMT some time and watch for an afternoon. Might even make a country music fan out of you! :-)
