A Thanksgiving treat?

An early Christmas gift?

On The Interpreter Rhett covers some of my all time favorite songs: American Girl, California Stars, Wave of Mutilation, Waterloo Sunset and a bunch of other songs that sound awesome.

Maybe he covered your favorites too.

To hear the whole album before it comes out on Tuesday, November 22nd – click here.

In other news, the best husband in the WHOLE WORLD said I may be able to go to see Rhett in San Francisco at the end of the month.

A Thanksgiving Miracle?

Those exist, don’t they?

Anyone want to join me?

Song notes:

1. Last week I posted my Fantasy Setlist for the Old 97’s show at Harlow’s and then tweeted it to Rhett. He, being the nicest guy in rock, said he’d use it.

2. My list didn’t have any songs from Grand Theatre Volume 2 because I hadn’t gotten it yet {been an insanely weird month – not to worry, I picked on up at the show}.

It is AWESOME!

3. This is now my theme song. I’m a Trainwreck.

Fantasy Set List: Old 97’s at Harlow’s, August 14th

Much to my surprise, my favorite band, Old 97’s,  is returning to Sacramento this weekend {the second time this summer and second time EVER}. I am ridiculously excited because with the Rubes coming soon, I’m not sure how many shows I’ll be going to in the near future. That being said, Sunday night I plan to rock.

Making a set list every night must be torture when you have so many good songs to choose from, so if I were in charge of the set list this is what it would look like.

39 Greatest Hits According to Me 

Every Night Is Friday Night (Without You)
A State Of Texas
Champaign, Illinois
Let The Whiskey Take The Reins
Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving
No Baby I
My Two Feet
The One
Here’s to the Halcyon
Early Morning

Buick City Complex
Designs On You
W.I.F.E.
Eyes for You – {If I only get one song, this would be it}

In your fantasy world if you were in charge of making a set list, who would you make it for and what songs would you include?

Song notes:

1. A little solo road trip let me dig deep into my old97s/Rhett Miller catalog. {I’ve been banned from playing them while the hubs is home. He seems to think he’s heard them enough over the years. Whatevs.}

2. Seeing Rhett play this live is a little slice of awesome because of the duet nature of the song. One side of the audience gets the male Rhett and the other gets the female.

There are also crazy internet rumors about women from the audience coming up on stage to sing with him. {What a ridiculously terrifying fantasy/nightmare!}

3. Are you in Sacramento August 14th? If so, maybe we’ll get to see him play this at  Harlow’s.

Song notes:

1. Who knew in my quest for palatable Christmas music I’d find this little gem?

2. If you’ve never seen Old 97’s live, please do yourself a favor and go. Best live show – EVER.

3. Can’t wait until January at the Fillmore!

4. My song request at a live show is always “Eyes For You” – hint, hint.

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
Ever since I found you, I’ve been orbiting around you like you are the sun
Ever since I met you, there’s no way I could forget, you are the only one
Every single morning when I hear you in there humming on a brand new tune
If I blink I’ll miss you, honey, all I want’s to kiss you and I want to soon
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
I might just surprise you, I might be the one who tries to love you every day
I propose forever, although longer would be better, what d’ya say, what d’ya say
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
I will sing along
