Dandelion

the take

Get me in some assless chaps and throw me on a bull right fucking now! This album is twangy and fun. This album is girl country. This album is what Carrie Underwood thinks she did on her last five albums that no one listened to. Langley has the voice of a woman who smoked the right amount of cigarettes and can function a vehicle while awfully close to that legal limit. From the hits like ‘Choosin’ Texas’ to ‘Loving Life Again’ we knew there was bonafide star in the making. But what buried me six feet under were the B-tracks. What do you mean songs like ‘Speaking Terms’ and ‘Broken’ were never meant to be standouts?!? Those songs, much like the guy who clocked me at the bar, knocked me flat on my ass. She’s got a tone and delivery that’s one of one and I pray she never strays away from it. I know it’s a fad to be an Ella Fella, but I’m proud as hell nonetheless. Best tracks: Dandelion, Low Lights, Loving Life Again, Broken, Speaking Terms, and Most Good Things Do
