Carrie Rodriguez and Ben Kyle, 'We Still Love Our Country'
Austin-based singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez teamed up with Minneapolis-based Irishman Ben Kyle, lead singer of the folk-pop band Romantica, for this eight-track collection celebrating their love of classic country and Americana. They mostly do right by their choice of material, giving heartfelt readings of Townes van Zandt’s “If I Needed You” and John Prine’s “Unwed Fathers” among others. Of the set’s two originals, the standout is “Fire Alarm,” a totally adorable opposites-attract love song that some smart guy-girl vocal duo (Lady Antebellum? Little Big Town?) will turn into a country radio hit.
