Jim James - A New Life

Babe, let's get one thing clear, there's much more stardust when you're near....

Sometimes you listen to a song and you love it from the first listen.  Other songs are like this, they grow and grow on you.  Each time I listen to it, I like it a little bit more and have a new appreciation for it.  My favorite thing about this song, the change in tempo.  Also I guess I should mention for those who don't know that Jim James is the singer for My Morning Jacket.

Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow

Kacey Musgraves album Same Trailer, Different Park is what country should be.  Country music needs more Kacey.  I have no problem with catchy little songs that are fun to sing along but sometimes you need more substance and Kacey Musgraves is more substance.  My favorite thing about this song is just the message that you shouldn't worry so much about what other people are thinking.  "You're damned if you do/you're damned if you don't/so you might as well do what you want/follow your arrow wherever it points,''  It should be interesting to see if this song is released as a single and whether it makes it onto country radio with lyrics that say "kiss lots of girls if that's something you're into" and "when the straight and arrow gets a little too straight just roll up a joint... or don't"
