Frozen’s COUNTRY DIVAS sync listen - 15/02/21 8pm

[Haiku Rewrites]

Always enjoy a Patty Loveless song, but I do prefer her more lyrically emotional songs like this one.

 

[Frozen]

Track 16: Sara Evans - Slow Me Down

Don't know what the story is with the wedding dress but love love love this song.

 

[Alla]

The Patty Loveless one is so going to my ipod right now.

 

[Alla]

Another singer I don't know.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Sara's a good example of musical growth. I enjoy her more cheery throwback style from the 2000's but songs like this and My Heart Can't Tell You No really take it to another level.

Love this!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Yay Carrie!

 

[Frozen]

Track 17: Carrie Underwood - Church Bells

I'm not sure if Moopy's #1 Carrie fan @dUb would approve of this selection but it's a fave of mine.

 

[Berly]

Obviously love Carrie, superstar.

 

[Alla]

I don't know this one. I know mostly some of her singles, and I Ain't in Checotah Anymore from her debut album, which I really like.

 

[Frozen]

Track 18: The Highwomen - Crowded Table

I only discovered this one thanks to @Beryl's recommendation and it's quickly become a fave.

 

[Alla]

I don't know this one either.

 

[Iguana]

This feels like something @Barnacle (RIP) would submit to A Song For Moopy

 

[Berly]

The Highwomen are Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires

such a good song

 

[Frozen]

Track 19 : Sugarland (feat. Taylor Swift) - Babe

A Taylor composed track from the "Red" sessions that didn't make the album until Sugarland picked it up. This has been getting a hammering the last week or so.

 

[Iguana]

Oh look, a young Taylor Swift

 

[Frozen]

Taylor channeling Christina Hendricks in the video

 

[Tisch]

I have no idea of the existence of this. It's AMAZING.

 

[Iguana]

You is really good!

 

[Alla]

Not feeling the TS one, to be honest.

 

[Iguana]

She has quite "Bubbly's in the fridge" vibes about her

 

[Tisch]

Taylors backing vocals work fantastically in bringing this song into modernity. Perfect marriage of a a modern sound and traditional country.

 

[Iguana]

 

[Alla]

Ballerini, what a name for a country singer. Don't know her, it sounds good, very pop.

 

[Frozen]

Track 20: Kelsea Ballerini - Miss Me More

I saw Kelsea live when she was supporting Tim & Faith and been keeping track of her since. This is one of the best songs on her second album "Unapologetically"

 

[Berly]

Kelsey Ballerini is AMAZING.

If you don’t know any of her songs then listen to Peter Pan, if nothing else Peter Pan is a 16/10 track but she’s got so so many good ones

 

[Berly]

She’s got a fab song with Halsey too

 

[Frozen]

Track 21: Gabby Barrett - I Hope

Another @Beryl recommendation. This one is notable for being the first Country Top 10 by a solo woman since 2017.

 

[Tisch]

I did an album of hers based on a Sptofy recommendation, but it was nothing like this. I clearly missed out!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Kelsey Ballerini is definitely one of my favourite "recent" country singers. Miss Me More is a solild tune!

 

[Frozen]

Track 22: Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow

Another recent discovery, I seem to have slept on Kacey so some further investigating will be happening soon.

 

[Berly]

I was so surprised you hadn’t heard this Frozen, it’s never off Country hits radio and like you say, a top ten hit

 

[Alla]

I know Kacey but not the song. This is more like it, liking it.

 

[Berly]

Track 22: Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow

Another recent discovery, I seem to have slept on Kacey so some further investigating will be happening soon.

Loved this when it came out, was quite a bold move at the time. As much as I love Golden Hour, I’ll always have a soft spot for this

 

[Alla]

There are 2 very obvious singers that I guess are still to come.

 

[Alla]

There are 2 very obvious singers that I guess are still to come.

And here's one of them.

My choice would have been One way ticket (because I can). This one is very good too.

 

[Frozen]

Track 23: Leann Rimes - Nothin' Better To Do

I forgot all about Leann after the "Twisted Angel" singles and discovered this track only recently. The video is very "Chicago" meets country.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

What in the Candyman? Didn't know this LeAnn song nor expected this style/tempo from her.

I love this though.

 

[Berly]

The second half of this playlist is much more my cup of tea.

I do love me some country males though, probably more than the divas

 

[Alla]

Terri Clark, heard the name but it's all i know.

 

[Frozen]

Track 24: Terri Clark - Now That I've Found You

A change in style from Canadian Terri who at that point was more known for honky-tonk songs.
