Friday Featured Track
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “Outbound Plane,” Suzy Bogguss from her 1991 album “Aces.”
This sweetly snazzy little piano ballad was one of my favorite country-pop songs of the 1990s and one of four hits from “Aces.”
Bogguss was one of the most successful woman making contemporary country music in the 1990s. But she took time off to start a family in the middle of the decade, and when she returned to country music, the genre had become even more pop oriented, with Shania Twain and Faith Hill dominating the airwaves. She was unable to ascend to her previous commerial pinnacle in country music, though she has seen some success in the past few years on the jazz starts and still records on her own recording label.
But to me, she’ll always be the pretty brunette with the lovely clear voice singing “if love won’t fly on its own free will/It’s gonna catch that outbound plane.”
