[bonimaniac]

this episode was so fun

I will never get over the shortest players climbing onto the other player's back

THEYRE SO WHOLESOME <///3

Cant forget these two. I feel like they're father diaghter but also not.. what other dynamic could they be

One of my favourite episodes of season 5. Matter of fact, season 5 is just top tier.

[divinestkitty]

but some things only God can forgive

a playlist for the sassy and classy Wilde Child

Spotify is proud to present Kitty Wilde, the drummer for Divine Influence, and her top favorite tracks. Check out her choices and, of course, check out tickets and dates for Kitty and the rest of Divine Influence on Persephone’s Tour!

1. “Praying” by Kesha

Ah sometimes, I pray for you at night, oh Someday, maybe you'll see the light Whoa oh oh oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give

Kesha came out with the third best album of the year - behind us [Divine Influence] and The Sirens, obviously. This song is probably my favorite, and only partly because I rarely hear pop stars talk about praying these days.

[I think it’s obvious why she chose this song]

But some things only God can forgive

2. “Material Girl” by Madonna

Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play (no way) Only boys who save their pennies Make my rainy day

It’s a bop and while Madonna is creepy and won’t admit that she’s old now, she was an icon in her day.

'Cause we're living in a material world And I am a material girl...

3. ���Go Your Own Way” by Divine Influence

Loving you Isn't the right thing to do

Rach sounds killer on this track - sorry, Fleetwood Mac, but we’ve got you beat. And I think we can all relate to loving someone who doesn’t love you back, or liking someone that you shouldn’t.

[Kitty, if you haven’t noticed, is pretty much head over heels for Marley and might just be the sliiiiightest bit upset that she does because she doesn’t want to be “this way”.]

How can I ever change things That I feel...

4. “Primadonna” by Marina and the Diamonds

You say that I'm kinda difficult But it's always someone else's fault

My theme song. I may be difficult, but you know you love me. It’s what I’m on this earth to do.

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe You can count on me to misbehave

5. “Being Alive” from Company

Somebody hold me too close Somebody force me to care

I have spent too much time over the years with Rach, and then you add Kat to the mix? Yeah, of course I know Company inside and out. This song honestly gives me chills.

Somebody make me come through I'll always be there As frightened as you of being alive...

6. “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” by Brenda Carlisle

When I feel alone, I reach for you And you bring me home When I'm lost at sea I hear your voice And it carries me...

One of my classic workout songs that’s great for squats, especially at that key change!

[Future Karley theme song. Also, “San Junipero” made Kitty cry a lot.]

Baby I was afraid before, I’m not afraid anymore

7. “Do You Love Me” by The Countors

Do you love me? (I can really move) Do you love me? (I'm in the groove) Now do you love me?

Another classic workout song that’s perfect for cardio. Also, sixteen year old dance team and cheerleading squad captain me was obsessed with a Dirty Dancing romance, and when this song played in that movie? Life changing and puberty inducing, to be honest.

[Dirty Dancing is meant to be a lesbian movie, let’s be honest.]

Do you love me now that I can dance?

[jacy1d]

New Music - After 17 years Alison Krauss will bring us Windy City in March

Listen to the new single above, click here for other ways to buy and listen.

27-time Grammy Award winner Alison Krauss returns with a brand new album for 2017, ‘Windy City’, to be released on Decca/Capitol on 3 March. For the iconic Krauss (who has won more Grammys than any other female artist), this is her first solo album in 17 years.

Today she also releases the first single from the record:  ‘Losing You’, which is out now.

‘Windy City’ finds Alison at the height of her vocal powers, performing 10 classic songs carefully selected with producer Buddy Cannon.

Following ‘Raising Sand’, her platinum 2007 album with Robert Plant that won six Grammy Awards including Album of the Year, and 2011’s ‘Paper Airplane’ with her longtime collaborators Union Station, which won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and topped Billboard’s Folk, Country and Bluegrass charts, Alison began to feel the tug of inspiration.

“Usually it’s just all songs first,” she says. “It was the first time I’d ever not had songs picked out, and it was just about a person.” That person was veteran Nashville producer Buddy Cannon. Alison had always enjoyed the occasional recording sessions she did for Buddy. But something else happened when she came in to sing her lead lines on Hank Cochran’s ‘Make The World Go Away’ for Jamey Johnson’s 2012 album ‘Living For A Song’. “That was absolutely the moment,” she says. “Wow! Buddy really makes me want to do a good job.”

Buddy has used his playing, songwriting and production skills to bring out the best in a wide variety of artists since the early 70’s. He has written award-winning and chart-topping songs for artists such as Vern Gosdin, Mel Tillis, George Strait, Glen Campbell, George Jones and Don Williams. He has also won the ACM’s ‘Producer Of The Year’ award and produced albums for Willie Nelson, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Alabama, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Chesney, and even Merle Haggard’s final solo album.

At the beginning Alison thought the songs chosen should be older than herself. “I wanted it to be earlier than I remembered,” she explains. And although the two of them subsequently decided to relax those boundaries just a little, it was only to allow in songs that somehow had the same kind of feeling as the others. Mostly, it turned out, these were songs of heartache, but of a distinct and particular kind.

What she and Buddy have created is an unusual and invigorating chimera – an album suffused with sadness that somehow rarely sounds that way. “It’s almost like you didn’t know it was sad,” Alison says, “because it doesn’t sound weak. It doesn’t have a pitiful part to it, where so many sad songs do. But these don’t. And I love that about it. I love that there’s strength underneath there. That whatever those stories are, they didn’t destroy. That that person made it right through it. I love that.”

Alison inhabits – and liberates – the very essence that makes each of the songs eternal. While they span different eras and musical genres, there is a unifying sensibility. Some of the songs are familiar – like ‘Gentle On My Mind’, a signature song of Glen Campbell’s, and ‘You Don’t Know Me’ which was a hit for Eddy Arnold and Ray Charles. Others were lesser known, like Willie Nelson’s ‘I Never Cared For You’ and ‘All Alone Am I’, originally recorded by Brenda Lee. Some were songs she’d never heard before; some were songs she’d known nearly her whole life, particularly those she brought in from the bluegrass world. Alison had no idea when she suggested to Buddy that they record ‘Dream of Me’, a song she recalled from childhood, that he had written it. It took some persuasion, but he agreed to sing backup on the track, along with his daughter Melonie Cannon.

Throughout her remarkable career Krauss has remained grounded and real. Deeply introspective as an artist, she’s commensurately outgoing and spontaneous in conversation—both sides of her character evidencing a life-embracing humanity. In her work, Krauss has managed to consistently locate the fertile common ground between traditional modes and topical themes.
