Friday Featured Track for Sept. 4, 2009

The song that has been on my brain the most this week:

- “Pretty Lady,” by Cross Canadian Ragweed, from the band’s new album “Happiness and All The Other Things.

Oklahoma-Texas country rockers Cross Canadian Ragweed released their seventh studio album this week, and I have not been able to stop listening to this song. Frontman Cody Canada penned it as a tribute to famed 1950s pinup model Bettie Page, who died in December 2008 at age 85.

The track’s meaty electric guitar and insistent piano give it a modern red dirt sound, but it also has a definite outlaw country vibe. It’s a song that I get a little something different from every time I hear to it, so, of course, I just keep listening.

And I can’t wait to hear Ragweed play it live.

-BAM
