Feb 27th MP3 files

Okay, things got a little delayed (I've been trying to get this site opened since mid January,) but here are my original picks!

•  1999, by the Wilkinsons. A great song by a great group. (And a great video, Amanda Wilkinson looking hotter than ever hehe.) It's also kind of the title track for the Wilkinsons' current album, 'Here and now.' But they're not the same title you say? Well, no, but '1999' does have the lyric 'This is here and now, you are mine,' in it, so I stand by that statement.
• You could've had me, by Lace. The hidden gem of Lace's debut album, this bittersweet song was co-written by Stephanie Bentley, who some of you might remember for a gorgeous duet she sang with Ty Herndon, 'Heart half empty.' Download that song too and compare. (I wonder what 'you could've had me' would have been like with Steph singing it hehe.)
• That's just about right, by Blackhawk. The hands-down classic from my favorite guy country trio. A simple song about a painter, but it's got to be one of the most inspiring lyrics I've ever heard. Kudos.
• Where the green grass grows, by Tim McGraw. Another classic song that probably everybody has heard before, but I had to stick it in here. And as a little challenge to any of you who might be graphically inclined... can someone make me a funny little cartoon of 'the camel's buried in a big straw stack?' It took me years before I understood what words Tim was saying in my line, and it's been one of my favorite images. (Poor little camel.)
• Two different things, by Mindy McCready. A funky little tune off Mindy's 'I'm not so tough' album, I love this song just for the bass rhytms and all that other cool stuff hehe.
• Love oughta work that way, by Tara Lyn Hart. Tara Lyn is one of my favorite new vocalists, and I keep swinging back and forth of which tracks I like best from her album. This is a great one, good lyrics, good harmony, great delivery by TLH. She should make this her next video.
• One day you will, by Martina McBride. A beautiful song from the 'Evolution' album, even if it's slightly weird. You don't see many songs written from the POV of 'love.' :-)
• Blank pages, by Patricia Conroy. One of my faves from Patrician Conroy's 'Bad day for trains' album, which includes her own version of 'My baby loves me.' The chorus of blank pages is so cool - a perfect word picture - for the experience of having no words. (Almost ironic.)
• Amy's back in Austin, by Little Texas. One of the first songs that got me hooked on the country music, and a fitting testament to the enduring talent of a fine band that has not itself endured.
• Hurricane Alley, by Jim Witter. One of the funnest songs I've ever heard, this can be found on Jim's self-titled album. Prepare to have a good time.
• You give me love, by Faith Hill. We'll wrap things up by a great Faith tune off of her 'Faith' album. This was certainly good enough to be released as a single, but it never was, so the best exposure it got was being played on the 'Mad About You' series finale hehe.

Well, that's it for this batch. I'll try to get some more up soon (if I can find the time to upload them.) Hope you enjoy!
