Isakov is hard to categorize, but I wouldn't call him country. I'd say he is soulful folk, if that makes any sense. To each her/his own, but there's beauty in his songs...just close your eyes and let it seep in through your pores. I think he belongs on RP, in fact I'd like to hear more from this artist on this station.
She's got SUCH a powerful voice - but I find she has the same trouble Mariah Carey has - learning when to dial it down. Nuance is a good thing. Overkill is not. I'm not rating it, because it's not so awful that I'd switch from RP to anything else, but I can't give it anything above a 4 at this point. Maybe one of these days, when the sun's shining, I'm stoned as a goat on good gin and all the dishes are done, I might feel differently!
This comment by Cynaera gets a 10. I'll agree and give song a 4.
Whoah...I recall hearing this the summer I was 12 years old, playing with my friends David and Roger, and all of us breaking into full-throated song with the chorus as it came on David's sister's radio that we could hear from her window...Heady times, indeed! (That clanging, mournful guitar, especially the intro, reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot's masterpiece 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,' too...)
Such a radio hit and that high guitar solo, so identifiable... triggers some memories for sure.
More Ben for 2017.
Oh yeah!....

Exactly. Perfect for RP.
'Oh my dear god what is that horrible song they're singing...!

What difference a Century will make! Huge album back in the day.
