The Pistol Annies “Run Daddy Run.”

The Pistol Annies can do no wrong.  Love love love these girls. This song’s off the Hunger Games soundtrack, which is bangin’.  Check it out, it’s called “Run Daddy Run.”

Muz We Love: The Wailin Jenny’s – “Prairie Town”

Any Pandora fans who happen to have an Alison Krauss and/or Brand Carlile station may have stumbled upon the Wailin Jenny’s, otherwise, maybe not.  Anyway, I (Emily) was working out to the AK one today, and these girls showed up yet again, and finally… a song really stuck out.

The complex simplicity of this piece is really gorgeous, therefore, I’m leaving all the lyrics so that y’all can get a little better sense. Enjoy.

When it rains it snows in this prairie town
There’s a good three inches on the ground
It seems I’ll be losing any peace I’ve found

I see your face all over this town
But I know you’re nowhere to be found
You’re far away, you’re safe and sound

Far from this prairie town
Far from this prairie town

So leaving seems the thing to do
When I’m here I’m lost in thoughts of you
And in my dreams I’m city bound

But if you ask me to come to you
To leave these fields and these skies of blue
You know I’d be leaving my sacred ground

Leaving this prairie town
Leaving this prairie town

No one’s love comes close to yours
Nothing’s what it was before
My eyes are heavy and my heart is sore

Leaving this prairie town
Leaving this prairie town

When it rains it snows in this prairie town
And we just watch it fall to the ground
And wait for love to come around

So ask me in that way you do
And I’ll leave these fields and I’ll come to you
And watch my heart as it breaks in two

I’m leaving this prairie town
I’m leaving this prairie town

Muz We Love: Joey and Rory “Album Number Two.”

“Album Number two” by Joey and Rory.  What a cute song, but man, ain’t it the truth?!

“Sold a lot of our first record, we even had a hit
Now the big wigs back in Nashville say we better kick it up a bit
The critics all are waiting, to see what we will do
For much anticipated album number two.”

Muz We Love: The Stellas “I Can’t Listen to Love Songs.”

The Stellas co-wrote this one with Pistol Annie, Angaleena Presley.  And we LOVE it.
It’s an honor to even know these guys.

.

“They used to help me make it through the night
Crazy for tryin’
Why baby why
are you always on my mind
I’m so lonesome I could cry
hiding behind closed doors
Now I can’t listen to love songs anymore… “

Tis The Season For Taylor.

Love love love.  Here’s a holiday sampling of the Taylor we know and love.

Deana Carter Covers Tom Petty!

The wonder of spotify!  just stumbled upon this awesome little cover.  Our girl Deana doing Tom Petty’s Classic, “Free Fallin.”

 

Muz We Love: Jypsi “Keep Me Hangin’ On.”

We talk about a lot of talented people.  Jypsi really takes the cake.  We’ve experienced few artists as naturally gifted as these guys.  Ever.  Music is what they were made to do.  We are still mourning their break up!
This one was on the Country Strong soundtrack, it’s an old cover, but Jypsi’s execution is one of a kind.

Muz We Love: Toby Keith “Kissin In The Rain.”

Love this one! Sounds a lot like Toby‘s mid 2000’s stuff.  This one’s off of his latest album, “Bullets in the Gun,” and it’s written by both T and Bobby Pinson.  Doubt we’ll see it as a single, but it’s still an awesome song.

Muz We Love: Alan Jackson “Talkin’ Song Repair Man Blues.”

Alan Jackson challange’s Harlan Howard‘s classic quote “Three Chords and the Truth” with this one!  Showcasing a little bit of the complexity that country music songwriters deal with every day!  The song it’s self is written, extremely well, we must say, by Mr. Dennis Linde.  Listen up to the lyrics, yo!

“Well I gave him my most sorrowful look,
And I said, “This song’s got a broken hook;
‘n-I can order you a new one from Nashville, but it won’t be cheap;
And I know you’ve been using a cut-rate thesaurus,
‘Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus,
Now your verse is runnin’ on verbs that are way too weak.”

P.S. Does anyone recognize the repair man… he’s Kurt’s Dad on Glee!

Muz We Love: Charlie Robison “El Cerrito Place.”

Can’t get it out of my head! Love this song.  I want to slow dance to it on a beach someday.  Or dirty dance. I’ll take either.

P.S. Charlie Robison was married to Emily Robison of The Dixie Chicks and if I’m not mistaken she sing BGV’s on this.
