Love And Theft Story

I love love love Love And Theft's "Runaway," a sweet California harmonied breeze of a thing that's going to be one of my country singles of the year. It's nothing special, sort of subdued Fleetwood Mac, "Go Your Own Way" lite, just a trio of nice boys and nice "oo oo oo"s and a nice lift from the harmonies and a rhythm that drives you along without spurting a lot of smoke.

The Wiki entry about them reads in full (crucial info in final sentence):

Love and Theft is an American country music group formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2006. It is composed of Brian Bandas (lead vocals, guitar), Stephen Barker Liles (lead vocals, guitar), and Eric Gunderson (lead vocals, guitar). The group made its debut with a live EP titled "Live in Savannah" recorded while on tour with Taylor Swift. Stephen Barker Liles is the subject of the song "Hey Stephen" which appears on the Taylor Swift CD Fearless.

Oh wow, the real Stephen! Runaway is quite jaunty. I'll keep listening in the hope it grows on me like Taylor has. I am quite obsessed with her now, and very sad her UK dates in May have sold out :(
