Diamond Dixie

If you're sunning yourself in Florida maybe you should check out this new duo I found via Twitter not so long ago (I will literally use any means to find good music). As Brantley said it "Country must be country wide) and that's the truth. Even coming out of Orlando, FL where sisters Gabriela and Bianca LeDuc duo of Diamond Dixie having been making music for the last decade.

Diamond Dixie appears to have that classic, retro rustic look that's come back around and been popularized lately and it's eye catching. Of course its not the look I worry about its the sound. Currently, "Don't Come Back Around" from the 2017 album Reckless is playing through my speakers, and while to be honest is a little basic compared to what you will hear on the radio its a simple sound where the music itself isn't butchered by producers fine tuning in a computer lab. I even hit re-play on it. Back-to-back music playing isn't common in my house unless I have a song stuck in my head (or the toddlers) but I really like the feel. Almost a "Something Bad" duet feeling that I got with Lambert and Underwood.

I'll drop a few links to check while I listen to the rest of Reckless. Also, Gabriela and Bianca, I really want to raid your closets.

Two Hearts One Terra Bella

Image
Some of the greatest duets have come from the passion between two musicians in love. Collaborations between two solo artists as they grace the stage together brings forth a certain excitement.   But in the case of Terra Bella the love and passion is there every time they grace the stage. Martina and Joe Costa are the married duo and rising musicians that hail from a ranching community in Central California now living and making music out of Nashville the two of them have that Bakersfield sound that Merle Haggard made famous all those many moons ago. This last summer my husband and I made the five hours drive down to Music City to do a bit of dancing and drinking and just immerse ourselves in the natural high of the area where country music is being made in every doorway. We stopped by a small place called Scoreboards tucked back out of the hustle of the mainstream Nashville night life. There was a duo on the events list for the night that I had never heard of before. Martina ...

Thankful Thanksgiving

Image
Today turkeys are thankful for vegans, the Waltons are thankful for Nixon and Clinton's trade deals with China and one of my many things to be thankful for is all of you. My new readers. That's right you guys. Families gather round to stuff bellies with grandma's old fashioned recipes and that new thing your sister-in-law made she found on Pinterest.. Then it's off to shop for most of the country (I'll probably do some from my phone- after all, Christmas isn't cheap) and we will spend America's holiday embracing, then forgetting the things we are truly thankful for. Not the 50% off t.v.s but family, friends, and freedom to pursue our happiness. (Unless you wish to be a criminal minds unsub. Then please abstain.) So on that not let me leave you with a song that brings memories of family. The rocker gone country singer Aaron Lewis released it on The Road album before Blake Shelton did on his 2013 Based on a True Story. Penned by Dallas Davidson, Rhett Ak...

Pure Gospel - "Wings of a Dove"

Image
American country musicians have always kept a strong backbone with their country and faith.  So many country music songs have told the truth in God's word. Fans have found grace in the ballads and gospels brought to us by some of His greatest problem children and strongest believers. One of my all time favorite gospel songs is "Wings of a Dove".  While I was growing up , my Grandpa Guy never had a truck that had a reliable radio- a working CB radio- but never an F.M. dial and the A.M. stations were hardly anything but talk radio static at best. However, the old township truck he drove plowing snow for Richwood Township, could actually get the A.M. stations that played music.  At the young age of 8 or 9, riding with him, plowing snow one winter, coming up Sugar Creek Road and by the Hagen family farm, what would be my 1st recollection of both "Wings of a Dove" and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" came through that distant sounding A.M. radio static....
