A valentine’s day gift from
Laura Oakes - Better in Blue Jeans!
Does anything say country more than a pair of blue jeans?
This is another country-pop
offering from Laura with a vibrant upbeat from the opening line. The drum
provides the beat that is almost impossible not to tap along to. The full band is in there too, bass and lead
guitar and if you listen clearly enough, the steel guitar.
Clear lyrics throughout,
even in the tongue twisting line “so where this undiluted, high falutin’ all
about?” I’m not entirely sure what this means, but I know it’s not complimentary!
Laura is singing about the
guy that’s made it, evident by his change in dress sense. She’s proud of them
but that doesn’t excuse their behaviour and it’s something that she doesn’t like,
she doesn’t recognise their behaviour and much prefers the person that they
were before - the guy in blue jeans!
No, you’ve not gone mad, you
may have heard Laura sing the song live – she sang it at the Long Road Festival
in 2018 and again at The Islington in May 2019. Clearly you reacted positively
enough for her to record it, so why wait, download as that extra valentine’s
treat, even if it needs to be for yourself.
It’s a catchy number that
will stick in your head - I want to hear this song
blasting out in every one of the Levi stores!
