girl trip 4 mix-tape, volume one
***know what's funny? i average 25-40 pageviews per post (a pageview is how many times people have clicked on your post, if i'm not mistaken). i don't normally share my blog updates on facebook, but i did for our family pictures because i wanted to tag our photographer. ummmm, 195 pageviews!!! holy cow! should i keep fb posting? decisions, decisions.
***the band widespread panic is in town so my hubs is off pretending he is back in college (go get 'em, honey!) i figured to stay on a music theme, i would share my first installment of music from this year's girls trip.
***i got a little theme-y with the "mix-tapes" this time and since we were headed to the hill country, i thought we should most definitely have a little country music accompany us on our road trip.
***the girls thought i hid a clue in each song, so they were listening intently and drawing all kids of crazy conclusions. actually, i only strategically included the first two songs. the rest are just songs i like (none of which indicated where we were headed).
***here's the playlist on spotify.
1) play a train song- robert earl keen, jr.
(i accidentally tricked the girls into thinking the trip involved a train, so i threw this song in as an opener. just for giggles.)
2) southbound 35- pat green
(why yes, that was the direction we were headed.)
3) wagon wheel- old crow medicine show
(the original is always better, am i right?)
4) right down the line- bonnie raitt
(oh man, the more i hear this, the more i love it. saw her at jazzfest. girl crush since.)
5) she's like texas- josh abbott band
6) one chord song- stoney larue
7) good times- charlie robison
8) one more night in brooklyn- justin townes earl
9) truth no. 2- dixie chicks
(my favorite dc song, and quite possibly one of my favorite songs ever. i miss these girls.)
10) hell on heels- pistol annies
11) i can get off on you- willie nelson
(i couldn't find a good live willie version on youtube, so here are my boyfriends the avett brothers singing their version.)
12) in my arms instead- randy rogers band
13) every girl- turnpike troubadours
14) strawberry wine- deana carter
(since i spent my seventeenth year with the majority of the women on this trip, i thought i'd include this oldie but goodie. this song was such a BIG deal when we were in high school. we felt a kinship to this song, considering we were also seventeen and drank copius amounts of strawberry wine.)
15) sangria wine- jerry jeff walker
16) springsteen- eric church
(i love, love, love this one.)
17) you never even call me by my name- david allan coe
(a college anthem...that is if you attended college in texas. a bar closer every time.)
what do you think? what would you have included?
stay tuned for volume two (woot!)
xoxo,
coco
