The List for Thursday, April 21st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Elle King has found that when the iron strikes…it strikes.  Speaking about her number one hit with Miranda Lambert…she NEVER thought it would make the mark it has….“Never in a million years would I have ever thought that a song that I wrote when I was about 24 years old would ever have the life that it has.  But for that song to go to number one means absolutely everything in the world to me.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m in country Elle King’s here to stay.”

Here’s something that might curl in your noodle…When Mitchell Tenpenny was young, he played drums in a hardcore Metal band.  His mother supported him, because . . . moms.  And then he grew up.  In college he focused on acoustic guitar and songwriting.   Mom didn’t have to pretend about liking that.  The first time he played her one of his songs she started tearing up and crying, tears of joy of course because he wasn’t playing all that screaming Metal music.
