February 9, 2015--Love And Theft, Angel Eyes

Artist:  Love and Theft
Song:  Angel Eyes
Album:  Love and Theft

Okay, so we all know that I'm not a huge Pop Country fan, but I do like these guys, or at least what I've heard of them.  Love and Theft was formed originally as a trio in Nashville, Tennessee but one of the members left and the duo, Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson, never replaced him.

"Angel Eyes" was their first huge success, making it to number one on the charts.  Other songs such as "Runaway" and "If You Ever Get Lonely" have done well also.  The duo was the opening act for Taylor Swift's "Fearless" tour in 2008.

Personally, I don't have anything against Pop Country I only have issues against fake.  When your voice is completely modified or 90% of your songs aren't YOUR songs, then I tend to dislike the music.  However, there are many artists in Pop Country that are honestly skilled and talented and write their own material (for the most part).  Some examples are Love & Theft, Blake Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert, The Eli Young Band, and others.

I enjoy most of the songs I've heard by Love & Theft.  I'm interested in what I may come across by them next.  They aren't typically a group I search out to listen to all of their music, but they're also not a group that I skip when they show up on my Pandora radio.

Enjoy!
