oh, and by the way...

Here is the current soundtrack of my life lately.

Sugarland is pretty huge right now. But I've honestly never been into them (aside from a few hit songs) until now. Their latest album is filled with soul. Any time I've needed to be reminded how big my heart can be, I've put on this record and sat back and dreamed away.

A big plus - Their version of Matt Nathanson's, Come on, Get Higher sends chills down my spine.

George - the epitomey of what a real man is! Every single lyric to this song, I get. I blast this whenever I'm having doubts about how awesome my kind of life is...

James Otto - I literally JUST discovered him 3 days ago and cannot stop listening! With the exception of Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley, this guy has my newest favorite voice. I cannot get enough of his rockin', country soul.

And he's new!

So please check him out, request his songs, buy his albums. We need real artists out there being successful. Flood your radios!

Luke Bryan.

Okay, to my friends it's no secret how much I have a crush on this man. But that aside, I've had the privledge to see him in concert twice now and each time, he's always blown the headliners out of the water. If you're into a good ole boy, life on the farm, country man...Luke is your guy.

He reminds me how much fun this life is.
And his sexy dance moves and giant smile help a bit too!

Pictures and Sound is the newest band collaboration from my fellow New Englander Lucas Reynolds (formaly of the band Blue Merle).

If you follow his blog (picturesandsound.blogspot.com) you can track the work and life of a true artist in the best sense of the word. His sound just keeps getting better and better and every word out of his mouth is something I can relate to.

Not just your average pop fare, his songs make you think and smile and feel all at the same time. Another diamond in the rough.

Perfect for long drives and rainy sunday afternoons when all you want to do is snuggle.
