I want to give a quick shout out to Carolina Story and their new album, which released yesterday. This is seriously some of my favorite music ever. You can listen to it through over and over, singing along and enjoying every second of it. The lyrics, all written by Ben and Emily, are a work of art and will shoot straight through to your heart. They are like a soundtrack to life...and the songs can be enjoyed by the entire family, which is kind of hard to come by these days!! Shelby and Coleman ask to hear Carolina Story every time we get in the car (which sure beats popping in a movie to zombie them out- I'd rather have my kids singing and dancing any day!)
Yesterday when the album released, it quickly shot to the top of the singer/songwriter chart on iTunes and rose to #2 by afternoon, right behind the Civil Wars! It's still holding there & they're trying to give it one more big push to try and take that #1 spot! How cool would that be for these independent artists who just love to make music to top an iTunes chart in it's first couple of release days?? And we are sure to have a chance to see them live in the upcoming months, as they are devoted to hitting the road (the traveling life!) and playing for their fans all over, but especially their beloved DFW friends :)
It's only $7.92 on iTunes here: www.iTunes.com/CarolinaStory
This album, along with their first album, are our family's favorites to queue up when we're hanging or lounging at the house or on the back patio with a fire. It's perfect camping music, great out-by-the-pool musice, and perfect to have on for company, too...it plays right along with our Ray Lamontagne and James Taylor. :) My favorites are Carry Me Home, In the End, and If I Could Hold You.
So give it a listen and help support great music! Can't wait to hear what you think!
