Today’s Earworm
At some point over the past weekend, all the songs from White Mansions have run through my mind.
I last heard the album in the mid-1970s, yet I remember every song. Poignant, yet kinda chilling.

A little touch of Grieg in the night… played by the incredible Khatia Buniatishvili.
Yes, you may thank me now.
Today’s Earworm
Living Inside Your Love — soft jazz at its finest, played by one of its finest.

Breaking us in two, it is.
Country Style
Lainey Wilson calls her musical style “bell-bottom country“, and I’m not going to disagree with her. What I like is how she describes country music — “we lived the lyrics” back when she was growing up in Nowhere LA, and I think that’s always been country’s appeal, on its most elemental level. And she’s got the voice to carry it, oh yes she does.
I also like that she’s not one of the pretty young things that Nashville seems to push out like Simon Cowell pushes out Brit boy bands. Nope, our Lainey’s one of them big ol’ country gals, with a big voice and a big songwriting talent — and I love it.
I will say that the girl needs to stick to those tight bell-bottom jeans, though:
Not her best look. She’s country, not r&b or rap.
