[joecool]

ok, so i'm probably a complete idiot to ask this, since i have so few details, but does anybody know the name of the song that ...

- is sung by a woman, kind of folksy,
- is about her home town,
- has a very folksy feel to it

survey says ...

 

[Skunkwourk]

I have no idea...

 

[SaltBoy]

Is is the song mentioned in the 2nd Link?

Hum three notes.

 

[joecool]

no, definitely not jewel. this woman has a lower voice and sings with a kind of tremulo/vibrato, in a folksy sort of way ...

 

[Zysoclaplem]

Where did you hear it? Regular radio? What station? Name any of the words in the song other than the, it, I...etc..

hey, i said i was an idiot to ask this ...

it's an "older" song - maybe 10 years or more? heard it on the radio sometimes. can't think of any of the words, but it's about her town. lyrics might include "my town", "my own town", "my home town", you get the idea ...

 

[RightIsWrong]

I'm going to guess Small Town by Shelly Fairchild FTW

 

[joecool]

No, I meant I hate women vocalists who do that. They try to sound like... men, or something. It's painful to listen to. They are usually doing folk music of some sort, yeah.

 

[joecool]

sooo not macy gray ... !

 

[chuckywang]

My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen is the only one I can think of right now.

damn, i thought maybe you had it ... but, no, not shelly fairchild. i'm talking really folksy hear ... think of the type of music you hear at the vegetarian restaurant on campus ...

How about Louise Parker's "My Town"

It was released in 1996 and about as folky as it gets. Just a stab....
