Beautiful song

 

Yeah I had no idea she was dropping an ep today.

 

That Kelsea EP is excellent.

 

"Mountain With A View" is pretty much a perfect song

 

Yeah checked out the EP. Really enjoyed it. Gonna watch the visuals soon.

 

Full film

 

This may be a vague request but does anyone have good country recs for a wedding reception? I'm maid of honor and my friend and her fiance love country and I'm trying to help with a reception playlist and want to add more country. I think she tends to prefer 90s country to current but they're also just fans in general. Both lovey and dance upbeat suggestions welcome. It's a music blind spot. I'm just blindly combing thru the spotify country playlists

 

Oh boy, not sure I can help you out here. Most of the stuff I listen to is sad and not suited for a wedding haha.

 

Lol yeah I had to be careful to listen and read closely to lyrics on the spotify playlists cause the country love song ones still had lots of sad definitely not love songs. If I listen to country it's usually the "screw you for cheating on me I'm gonna burn your house down" kind which isn't great for weddings haha

 

My good friend and his wife chose this song for their first dance!

 

Can share a few from my own wedding playlist - I'd say they're mostly on the lovey-er side :)

Sam Outlaw: Love Her for a While
Kacey Musgraves: Late to the Party
Chris Stapleton: More of You
Caitlyn Smith: Breakfast in the Afternoon
Sturgill Simpson: Juanita
John Prine: Look at Us
Natalie Hemby: Lovers on Display
Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors: What Would I Do Without You
Amanda Shires: Harmless
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit: If We Were Vampires
Steve Earle: Nothin' Without You

 

My best friend and his wife had their first dance to Lady May by Tyler Childers. Would also recommend Feathered Indians by him but probably listen to it first it’s got an explicit tag lol.

And it’s country-ish but my wife and I had our first dance to Pistol by Dustin Kensrue

 

Upbeat country for a wedding reception:

Maren Morris - I Can’t Love You Anymore
Kacey Musgraves - Late to the Party / Golden Hour
Miranda Lambert - I’ll Be Lovin You
Brothers Osborne - A Little Bit Trouble
George Strait - Check Yes or No
Shania Twain - You’re Still The One
Dolly Parton - Here You Come Again
Trisha Yearwood - She’s In Love With The Boy
Faith Hill - This Kiss
Taylor Swift - Our Song
Steve Moakler - Hard Not To Love It
Zach Bryan - The Greatest Day of My Life
Bonny Light Horseman - California

For the love of god, vet these song suggestions yourself! I absolutely would not want to put “If We Were Vampires” on during a wedding reception if it weren’t the first dance song.

 

Hahah, you're absolutely right. "More of You" was our first dance song, but Vampires was a runner-up so that one was really mainly there for us rather than the guests' sake. Come to think of it, "When I'm With You" and "Joy of My Life" might be reception-friendlier Stapleton picks as well.

 

He Stopped Loving Her Today or bust

 

Been looking forward to both of these for a while and fully expect them to both be favorites of mine this year.

 

New Drayton Farley album out today sounds good so far. Though I will say the choice to work with Sadler Vaden and the rest of the 400 unit seems like a weird one for a guy who sounds almost exactly like Isbell at times.

 

Good performances

 

I’m really surprised there hasn’t been more buzz around the new Drayton Farley album, especially considering how strongly he is being compared to Isbell who seems to have a pretty decent following around here. The Isbell comparisons obviously make sense, and he didn’t do himself any favors on separating himself from those comparisons by working with the 400 unit, but it’s actually a really solid album that I imagine several around here would enjoy it. I’ve read a few comments like “best Isbell album since Southeastern” lol.

 

I like this album, but c'mon, we gotta call out blatant hyperbole where we see it!

 

Admittedly, I liked his last two better! A Hard Up Life was rad and felt more like himself. I wouldn’t have drawn as hard as a comparison to Isbell back then, but this most recent one he really leans into it.

 

Tiktok served me this guy and I been jamming. Pretty easy going John Prine esq tunes

 

This album is pretttttty good.

 

I'm late to this news, but I'm weirdly very excited for this haha:

 

hyperbole or not it's gonna make me check the dude out lol
