Matthew Mayfield & the Blue Cut Robbery - Good Girls



Link.

Fav lyrics: God knows that I can't get you that castle or that ring, make you make believe that I am [laced] (?) with finer things.

Matthew Mayfield has a roughly cut, smoldering voice and it fits perfectly with the harder music in this song. But what's also great about him is that he's varied and sounds great with a softer sound, too, like in Open Road or Grow Old With You. There's some kind of intoxicating, old-fashioned charm in his music. In Good Girls, it's almost like he's singing in your ear, the band playing two feet in front of you, so loud and present you can feel the beat in your chest. It's the kind of music that sounds live even when you're sitting in your PJs listening to it.

Reminds us of: Pearl Jam mixed with Dave Matthews Band
Listen to: with a smirk
