This should have been posted yesterday, so I am sorry about that. However, I am posting it today and that is all that matters. Another song will be posted tomorrow, don't worry! [I am speaking to all my imaginary readers out there, but for the ones that maybe do come back and check out what I am posting, these messages are for you! :)]
City of Silver Dreams, performed by Sugarland
Written by Kristian Bush, Lisa Carver, Jennifer Nettles & Ellis Paul
From the album Gold and Green
Jennifer Nettles has one of the best voices in music today. Whenever a Sugarland song, or one of her own songs, comes on to my iPod I just succumb to the glory that is her voice and let my mind drift. Not only can she sing the soft melodies really well, but also when she hits those high notes, it is like nothing else you've heard before. She is one of the few artists (along with her counterpart, Kristian Bush) that can successfully transition her voice from country songs to more steam-punk, rock oriented tunes, evident on Sugarland's last album The Incredible Machine. On their Christmas album, they combine five original songs with five classic Christmas ones and the results are fantastic. I chose this particular song because it opens the album magnificently and sets the tone for the music to follow. It transports you immediately into the snow covered, Christmas decorated city they are singing about. Looking for an album to listen to over the holidays? This is a great choice!
