and I apologize

Sometimes you're sad, and you tell me it's nothing

And I brush it off because there's always something

But I need to change my perspective

from Love in Slow Motion by Ed Sheeran

Brandi Carlile and Lori McKenna performing “Crowded Table”. _______________________________ Crowded Table Songwriters: Lori Mckenna, Natalie Hemby, Brandi Carlisle

You can hold my hand when you need to let go I can be your mountain when you're feeling valley-low I can be your streetlight showing you the way home You can hold my hand when you need to let go

I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let's take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done

If we want a garden, we're gonna have to sow the seed Plant a little happiness, let the roots run deep If it's love that we give then it's love that we reap If we want a garden, we're gonna have to sow the seed

Yeah, I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let us take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done

The door is always open Your picture's on my wall Everyone's a little broken And everyone belongs Yeah, everyone belongs

I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let us take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done And bring us back together when the day is done

Let’s not forget modern women in country!!!

Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby, and Amanda Shires, are all country. All of them are well established and fantastic in their own right, and they also have an album together as the group The Highwomen (which is a play on the group of older country superstars The Highwaymen).

The songwriting of the highwomen is fucking unmatched. Also individually they cover a range of country sub genres. Anyone who wants to listen to modern country without all the vile right wing rhetoric needs to listen to these women (and other women in country in general but I digress)

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

having an s tier taste is music is so awesome except for when you’re exhausted and every song becomes a ‘i’ll go to sleep after this one’ song

[librarycard]

would love your country music recs!! been trying to get into the genre but haven’t really listened to a whole bunch and would love some suggestions <33

YAY thnk u for reaching out. um most of these artists i havent trawled their entire discog but each has some things i really really love. many of them explore serious topics such as addiction, discrimination (racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, etc), and more (like a lot of less commercialized and more traditional country music does).

its important to note that there is a lot of crossover in country, soul, blues, americana, and folk, so some artists might be more leaning to one of the other genres but their relation to the country style compels me to include them.

i will also say that afaik these are mostly modern artists because nothing makes me fucking angrier than people saying that new country music isnt good. please pull yourself out of the country billboard top 100 for the love of god.

ok here it is: > yola (one of my faves, lots of crossover with soul in her style) > brandi carlile, maren morris, natalie hemby, and amanda shires are all good individually and are part of a collective called the highwomen (theyve collaborated with yola several times!) > robert finley (i could cry with how much i love his work, sharecropper's son 2021 is just fucking. perfect) > john fullbright > rhiannon giddens > gillian welch > shakey graves > charley crockett (his work all feels so fresh and unique to me, i never get sick of it) > courtney marie andrews > brown bird (one half of this duo has passed on so they havent made any new music since then, but i still suggest checking them out) > mary gauthier (drag queens in limousines is a total classic) > the war and treaty > sturgill simpson > allison russell > paul cauthen (he's collabed with orville peck, who im sure a lot of people here know! if not i rec him too ofc) > emily nenni > john r miller > lucette (shes had work produced by sturgill simpson iirc) > the secret sisters (very dear to me) > katie pruitt > shovels & rope (<3) > parker millsap > margo price ( i love her i love her i love her i love her what can i say. thats how rumors get started 2020 changed my life) > kaia kater > robert ellis (less familiar w him but i like what ive heard) > jaime wyatt > arlo mckinley (another artist i havent checked out extensively but ive heard good songs from him and like his voice) > the chicks (forever and ever <333333333) > amythyst kiah > mercy bell > justin townes earle (who has unfortunately passed away in recent years, i think 2020) > waylon payne > the devil makes three > evil > jason isbell and the 400 unit

i also dont want you to think i dont want people to listen to classics, i do. i love classic country music — if you havent checked them out, id especially recommend john denver, charley pride, dolly parton, willie nelson, hank williams, johnny cash, the carter family, glen campbell, kitty wells, robert johnson (hes blues, but hes mississipean blues and has influenced country music through and through), patsy cline, judy collins, waylon jennings, and marty robbins.

this isnt comprehensive but its what comes to mind right now. i hope it was helpful!!! <3

Lyrics:

Back this hitch up into the water

Untie all the cables and rope

Step onto the astro turf

Get yourself a coozie

Let's go

Who said anything about skiin'?

Floatin' is all I wanna do

You can climb the ladder

Just don't rock the boat while I barbeque

(Hoo hoo hoo)

[Chorus:]

On the pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

Out here in the open

Mmmmmmm…motorboatin'

Reach your hand down into the cooler

Don't drink it if the mountains aren't blue

Try to keep it steady as you recline on your black inner tube

[Chorus:]

Pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

Out here in the open

Mmmmmm…motorboatin'

(Hoo hoo hoo)

(Hoo hoo hoo)

[Bridge:]

5 mile an hour with aluminum side

Wood panelin' with a water slide

Can't beat the heat, so let's take a ride

On the pontoon

[Chorus:]

On the pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

I'm out here in the open

Mmmmmmm…motorboatin'

(Hoo hoo hoo)

On the pontoon

(Hoo hoo hoo)

(Hoo hoo hoo)

Back this hitch out into the water

On the pontoon

(Hoo hoo hoo)

collaboration spotlight — CMA 2014 Single of the Year nominee mashup by Home Free

After Home Free won the fourth season of The Sing-Off, it perked up some ears in the country music world. They were invited to perform at the annual CMA Fest in early June, and were inducted as association members a couple weeks later.

When the CMA Awards nominations were announced in the fall, Home Free decided to record a rundown of the nominees for Single of the Year. All of the songs in question seem to have a common theme of escapism, be it nostalgia for the simplicity of childhood, or coping with a sad turn of events. Seeing how much fun their friends in VoicePlay were having with their "Aca Top 10" series, Home Free enlisted Layne and Geoff to help with the comparatively easy task of arranging just five songs.

Details:

title: CMA 2014 Single of the Year nominee mashup

original songs / performers: "Automatic" by Miranda Lambert; [0:30] "Mine Would Be You" by Blake Shelton; [0:46] "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" by Tim McGraw, featuring Faith Hill; [1:08] "Give Me Back My Hometown" by Eric Church; [1:32] "Drunk on a Plane" by Dierks Bentley

written by: "Automatic" by Nicolle Galyon, Natalie Hemby, & Miranda Lambert; "Mine Would Be You" by Jessi Alexander, Connie Harrington, & Deric Ruttan; "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" by Tom Douglas, Jaren Johnston, & Jeffrey Steele; "Give Me Back My Hometown" by Eric Church & Luke Laird; "Drunk on a Plane" by Dierks Bentley, Chris Tompkins, & Josh Kear

arranged by: Layne Stein & Geoff Castellucci

release date: 29 October 2014

My favorite bits:

Adam's turntable belt buckle — fashionable and fidgetable, perfect for the adorkable vocal percussionist in your life

Chris, Austin, and Rob's lovely harmonies in "Mine Would Be You"

the slight tempo increase on "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" that makes the excerpt feel a little less melancholy than the original

dropping out everything but Adam's sparse percussion and Rob's clear melody at the beginning of "Give Me Back My Hometown" then layering everyone else back in

Tim building anticipation with that long low note

finishing with the party atmosphere of "Drunk on a Plane", but adding in little callbacks to each song

Austin's cute ramble in the outro, "We hope you all win… even though you can't…"

Trivia:

Blackbird Studios in Nashville, where the video was recorded, is also familiar to fellow Sing-Off alumna Emoni Wilkins, as she has recorded backing vocals for a number of other artists there.

"Drunk on a Plane" was also included in VoicePlay's "Wow! Vol. 1" medley / skit for the 2015 Sing-Off tour, which featured a video clip of Tim Foust as an informercial hype man.
