087: Charlie Marie

On Episode 87, I am joined by rising country singer-songwriter Charlie Marie. Charlie really began turning heads last Spring when she released Charlie Marie, an incredibly strong and sharp five-song EP that displayed her knack for writing clever hooks and a highly emotive classic country croon. Songs such as "Rodeo" and "Shot in the Dark" had a vintage neon glow while EP standout "Countryside" felt like a breath of necessary fresh air way out on the outskirts of town. She bookended the EP with "Rhinestones" and "Playboy," two efforts that displayed a sharp wit. She weaves in and out of highly emotional moments where she's highly confident or incredibly vulnerable and exposed. Charlie Marie is as strong a collection of songs released in recent memory.

This episode's presenting partner is The Blue Light Live and Wicker's Mesquite Smoked Jalapeno Jelly.
