Hi there. I'm Tommy Woods.
Today I'll recommend you my favorite country music band. It's The Band Perry.
Members
Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry, and Neil Perry, they are siblings. Basically Kimberly is a vocalist, Reid bass guitarist and Neil mandolinist.
Career
They released their debut single "Hip To My Heart" in 2009. This song peaked at No. 20 on the billboard hot country chart. Their second single "If I Die Young won first prize on the country music chart. It's amazing.
My favorite songs
- Hip to My Heart
As I wrote above, this is their debut single. It's cheerful love song. I feel happy while listening this song. The fiddle(mandolin?) sounds are confortable. I can spend a good day when I listen to this song in morning.

- Gentle On My Mind
"Hip to My Heart" is a little on pop music side but this song is country music. Originally this is released by John Hartford and it seems that it's famous for Glen Campbell cover version.
A desert landscape, which fits the song well, is shown in the music video. I feel free like I travel wherever I want without any purpose. Kimberly's warm and gentle voice fits well with this song.

- If I Die Young
The title is sad but this song gives me a gentle feeling more than sadness. She will think of people around her even after her passing. It's amaging. The lyrics are beautiful so I can imagine the senery of the song. The fiddle solo is good. I often listen to hard rock music but compared to guitar solo, it's like a gentle breeze blowing.
