I heard an interview with Gretchen Peters where she said that she didn’t really do the Nashville “co-writing” thing where publishing companies throw songwriters together in the hope they come up with something better than anything they can do alone

Legends of the Fall soundtrack. I remember it being very lush but that may have been because Brad Pitt.

@mediaevalbaebes - as a choir kid, I loved them. I have a tambourine they signed at the Lemon Tree.

@gretchenpeters - still listen to her through Spotify.

Y'all know "Independence Day" isn't about 'merica, right? But airplay each 7/4 pays @martinamcbride & @gretchenpeters ' bills for the year..

The Top 10 Americana Songs of All Time: Rick Bayles
Ah, the ever popular, controversial list. We all know these things are totally subjective, but we all love them, largely because we love disagreeing with them; and I’m sure there’ll be plenty to disagree with here! Let me start by saying that this is, most definitely, not a list of the ten best americana songs ever. It is a list of ten very good americana songs that particularly resonate with me.

The Top 10 Americana Songs of All Time: Richard Parkinson
Every writer faced with distilling the entire history of music into the Top 10 Americana Songs of All Time is faced with a need to place some boundaries around the task in order to get some sense of perspective on the subject. Leaving aside the “what is americana?” mug’s game, I was thinking about what a greatest of all time meant – is it the intrinsic value of a single piece performance, or is it a song that transcends the performance and somehow epitomises a facet of americana in a way which connects across performers and audiences.

"Independence day" - Gretchen Peters from "The Secret of Life" 1996 Bonus! flash. "When your song is assigned an entire set of cultural values based on a false premise (it was never a song about America, it was always a song about a woman who was trying to save her own life and that of her child) it starts to feel tainted. It feels like words have been put in your mouth that you never said." The CMA Song of the Year for 1995, for the hit single by Martina McBride. It was adopted by right-wing blowhards who didn't listen to the lyric, a bit like Bruce's "Born in the u s a". Gretchen drew inspiration from the story of Francine Hughes; she'd set fire to her home in March 1977 after enduring 13 years of an abusive relationship, her ex-husband did not escape. A jury found Hughes not guilty of murder charges due to temporary insanity, recognising that being trapped can drive a person mad. A call to independence from patriarchy, from a culture that would tell a woman, or any other person for that matter, to stand by an abusive partner at all costs. A day to speak freely, and criticise those who would control others' bodies. Independence Day for the strong women who escaped the oppressive strictures of unhealthy marriages and choose better lives. The independence to wake up every day and be our authentic selves. Background is the next picture.... Gretchen Peters is a blonde woman with a long face and a white guitar slung at her waist, the guitar neck pointing somewhat above the horizontal. She's signing a CD for a fan, a middle-aged woman wearing a red dress. Both women are smiling. Behind Gretchen's shoulder is a hanging poster for her gig at the building we see in the background. A sunny day with shadows and a sliver of blue sky down the side of the building.

Songs about songwriting/songwriters are a favorite sub-genre of mine, especially when they’re as good as this one by Gretchen Peters @gretchenpeters:
