There’s a song for everything in country music

As shown above, Maren Morris sings about how There’s A Song For Everything. I found that song on her second country album, Girl. But I first heard her crossed over onto Adult Contemporary Radio singing The Bones. She also belts out the lyrics on the Zedd song The Middle.

Back on April 4, 2011 I blogged about Stories in words and music: country edition. In that post I mentioned (among others) Rosanne Cash, Rodney Crowell, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. More recently Rosanne Cash sang A Feather’s Not a Bird and Modern Blue. Rodney Crowell sang It Ain’t Over Yet and Deep in the Heart of Uncertain Texas. Mary Chapin Carpenter sang Sometimes Just the Sky and Our Man Walter Cronkite. Almost two decades ago Steve Earle sang both When I Fall and The Galway Girl.

Another recent country music voice is Kasey Musgraves, who sang Follow Your Arrow and Slow Burn.

Here in Boise there is Eilen Jewell who sang Rain Roll In and Half-Broke Horse. There also are Tylor and the Train Robbers who sang about a Storyteller and Fumblin’ for Rhymes.

Also, there are hilarious videos, like the Pistol Annies singing Got My Name Changed Back.

The Tiny Desk Concert series from National Public Radio (NPR) has excellent live performances (typically a set of three songs) from Maren Morris, Rosanne Cash, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Brandi Carlisle, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, and Taylor Swift.
