Artist: Josh Abbott Band
Song: If You're Leaving (I'm Coming Too)
Album: She's Like Texas
I love the Josh Abbott Band. I love their music, their lyrics, their attitude. This song can hit close to home for anyone who has ever had relationship problems. You know, you can look around and I can guarantee that you know someone who's going through a break-up or divorce. It sucks. And no matter how hard one party tries to work it out, you can't make the other person in the equation want to work for it.
That doesn't mean that marriage is pointless. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't fall in love again. Yeah, I know...marriages don't seem to last as long as they used to. But, you know what? If you know that you did your best, you can't blame yourself for the actions of someone else. That's like trying to go somewhere with a flat tire or drinking exlax and hoping the idiot is the one who gets the shits. Doesn't work that way.
This song makes me think of those really rough times in a relationship where you're not sure if you're going to make it. Now, I'm not saying every relationship is worth saving. If it's an abusive relationship, IN ANY WAY, be it phyical, mental, or emotional then GET OUT! Those are not worth saving. And I'd love for you to Google narcissistic relationships. Those seem to be the most common. They are doomed from the start unless you are totally okay with being a doormat, and even then, they're still doomed. There's better out there. It will find you and you do deserve it and more. It's too easy to become cynical. If you do that, then you're letting the assholes of the world win. Don't.
Anyway, to quote Forest Gump, "That's all I've got to say about that."
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Song: Rhiannon
Album: Fleetwood Mac
Not going to go into much detail on Fleetwood Mac. This British-American rock band has sold over 100 million records, making them one of the best-selling musical groups of all time. They got their start in the 70s and they're still playing music.
Stevie Nicks is one of the most known names from the band, and the woman has earned it. She's the one to thank for a large amount of the band's songs.
Artist: Wade Bowen
Song: Songs About Trucks
Album: Wade Bowen
Wade Bowen is just awesome. I love his lyrics. This song is obviously ironic and it also shows some of Wade's humor. He's recently been working on some stuff with good friend and fellow artist Randy Rogers. I follow the both of them on Instagram and they are two funny guys. Randy recently pulled a prank on Wade while Wade was performing a show. I love seeing that from artists I like. They're just like us...they love to cut up and give each other hell and just enjoy some good music.
This song cracks me up because it reminds me of country music in 2013 and why it was awful. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you should watch this video posted to YouTube by Grady Smith. It's hilarious and you won't regret watching it.
If you didn't laugh at that then you need to get your sense of humor checked.
Artist: Sawyer Brown
Song: The Race Is On
Album: The Boys Are Back
Okay, so I'm not going to delve deep into Sawyer Brown. I will tell you that the quintet got their name from a road close to where they lived. Their first choice was Savanna, but they ended up settling on Sawyer Brown.
They got their start in the 80s and they were are powerhouse in the 90s. I love me some Sawyer Brown.
