10 Tracks I’m Loving Now

By 2 Comments

Here are a few of the songs playing on my iPod right now!

“Little White Church”-Little Big Town
These guys are so awesome! They have been one of my favorites for a long time, and I’m so excited that they have new music out! The song is so fun, and I can’t wait for the album to drop this summer!
“Speechless”-Lady Gaga
I really hate to admit it, but I really like this girl’s music! I heard this song for the first time when she performed it at the Grammy’s with Elton John (love him!). I downloaded the song a couple of weeks ago, and I love love love it! The live Grammy version is awesome too! That one will have you randomly yelling “Take my picture, Hollywood. I wanna be a star!” :)
Album: The Fame Monster
“American Honey”-Lady Antebellum
I just love these guys! This song is cute and fun and summery, and I love it!
Album: Need You Now
“Outside My Window”-Sarah Buxton
I just made this song my ringtone on my phone this week. It’s so fun and happy! Sarah is a great writer, and I’m so excited her album is finally out!
Album: Sarah Buxton
“Little House”-Amanda Seyfried
I loved Amanda in Mamma Mia, and I think she has a fantastic voice! She sang this in the movie Dear John, and even though I wasn’t crazy about the movie, I really liked the song!
Album: Dear John Soundtrack
“Giddy On Up”-Laura Bell Bundy
Love this song! One of my favorites to sing in the car! Laura originated the role of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway, and I love the soundtrack from the show. She’s gone country now, and I can’t wait for her album to drop in a few weeks!
“Today Was a Fairytale”-Taylor Swift
It’s Taylor. It’s a fairytale song. What more can I say? Love it!
Album: Valentine’s Day Soundtrack
“I Need You”-Steel Magnolia
On my last Top 10 Tracks blog, I talked about their single “Keep On Lovin’ You” and about how much I wanted new music from them. Just a couple weeks ago, they released a few songs online. This song is their live cover of Tim & Faith’s “I Need You” that I’m assuming they performed on Can You Duet. The more I hear from them, the more I wish I’d seen them on the show. This song is so good. They changed up the arrangement just enough that it didn’t sound like a copycat performance. I just love them!
“The World Is Ours Tonight”-Gloriana
This song was featured on the sountrack for the Olympics. I’m loving it!
“This Is My Son”-Cherryholmes
My mom , my Mom-mom, and I saw these guys perform at the Grand Ole Opry when we were in Nashville over the summer. I’d never heard of them, but I loved this song. It’s from the point of view of a mother whose son has gone off to war. She is singing about sending her son off to fight for people who don’t know him, and about how she understands God’s sacrifice by sending His only son to die for us. Definitely have a box of kleenexes handy when listening to this for the first time.
As always, I hope you check out the songs that you haven’t heard, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments!

10 Tracks I’m Loving Right Now

By Leave a Comment

I occasionally read a blog on CMT.com by a girl named Allison called “10 Tracks I’m Digging Right Now”. She not only lists current songs, but also older stuff she’s discovering or rediscovering. She also talks about why she is enjoying these songs. I love reading what she has to say and checking out some of the songs she recommends, so I decided to do my own lists! I love music, and I love discovering new music, so I wanted to share the music I love with “Blog Land”. Since I think the word ‘digging’ is a little goofy, I’m going to call my list “10 Tracks I’m Loving Right Now”. Here is what I’m listening to this week!

“Terrified” by Kathairne McPhee featuring Jason Reeves
Katharine just released her second CD, and it is completely different than her first one. This song quickly became my favorite on the album. Jason Reeves’ added vocals sound really awesome with Katharine’s voice. Love it!
Album: Unbroken

“Pink Guitar” by Reba McEntire
I love love love Reba! Who doesn’t enjoy listening to her stuff? She is always fantastic, and this song is super cute!
Album: Keep On Loving You

“Love Song” by Miranda Lambert featuring Charles Kelley
Really really love this song! Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum sings background vocals, and their voices sound fantastic together. Great lyrics too!
Album: Revolution

“The Man I Want To Be” by Chris Young
This is a really beautiful song with really powerful lyrics. Chris has a really awesome voice too!
Album: The Man I Want To Be

“Ready To Love Again” by Lady Antebellum
This is one of my favorite songs on their new album. I could list nearly every song on their album on this list! If you haven’t heard their new stuff, you should check it out! Awesome stuff!
Album: Need You Now

“Lie” by David Cook
I heard this song for the first time when he performed it on Carrie Underwood’s Christmas special. I don’t know what it is about this song that I like, but it has become one of my favorites of the moment.
Album: David Cook
“Brand New Key” by Katharine McPhee
Another favorite song on Katharine’s new CD. This song is unlike anything I’ve ever heard her sing, and I love it! It is very cute and bubbly.
Album: Unbroken

“Only Prettier” by Miranda Lambert
I laughed out loud the first time I heard this song! It’s kind of an “I don’t like you, but let’s agree to disagree” kind of song, told by a southern girl. She sings about how a southern girl doesn’t have to be hateful, she can just say “bless your heart”. We should all get along because we southern girls are just like anyone else, only prettier!
Album: Revolution

“Keep On Lovin’ You” by Steel Magnolia
This song is from a brand new country duo. They won this last season of CMT’s “Can You Duet”. I don’t watch the show, but I stumbled across their song when I was playing around on iTunes, and I really like it! They have unique voices, and the song is really cute. They don’t have a CD out yet, but I look forward to new music from them!


“Unapologize” by Carrie Underwood
There’s really no way I could get through a post about music without mentioning something by Carrie! This song is from her new album. It is about letting ‘I love you’ slip out, quickly apologizing, then taking back the apology because you really meant what you said. It has cute, fun lyrics, and is one of my favorites!
Album: Play On
That’s it for this post! If anyone is listening to these songs or checks them out after reading this, I would love to hear what you think about them!
