Gloriana: "Wild at Heart"

"That rebel moon is shining ... just want to free-fall for a while." My sentiments exactly! Love this song from new group Gloriana (which I originally thought was some country-fried drag queen). You may not follow country music, but there's a great new trend, back to more rootsy music with sharp lyrics built around 3- or 4-part harmonies. And less emphasis on corny twang and "aw-shucks" gimmicks (which is ok in small doses).

Similar groups emerging on the scene include Little Big Town (think country Fleetwood Mac!) and Lady Antebellum (again with the drag names). Their music reminds me of The Eagles and other similar bands from the '70s. And it doesn't hurt that these boys and girls (especially the boys) are all cute and trendy. Yee-haw!

Here's "Wild at Heart":
