2015 has been a great year musically for me, with my two favourite country music singers Melinda Schneider and Beccy Cole releasing a duet album, and the latter releasing a solo one as well! Beccy Cole's music has been in my collection since 1997's 'Big Girls' a light hearted rollicking track celebrating the 'fullsome' and 'nicely proportioned female form. It was just as much Beccy's sense of humour and clever merging of country and pop music that has kept her as one of my all time favourite voices. Her songs have seen me through some pretty diabolical life stuff over these past 18 years, and it has been a joy to discover and pursue new music from this award winning performer. I love the dark content, the personal, the funny, the life enriching and the good time feel to Beccy Cole's recordings. Listening to any one of her songs, makes this fan feel as if she is with me in the room; so lively and accessible is her voice and the way the stories are told.. Some of my personal favourites of Beccy's are 'Somebody like you' (one of the most darkly amusing break up songs), 'This Heart' 'Better Woman' and 'Shiny Things'. These songs and others have given me immeasurable delight and hope at times I really needed it. 

Beccy's 2015 album 'Sweet Rebecca' is the singer and songwriter at her very best. Beccy's high profile coming out in 2013 has it seems freed up more spirit,  richer and more textured vocal tones, and more life passages to wax lyrical over. I've chosen 'Off my Chest' as my 2nd youtube selection from this cd - the title track is the subject of another post. In selecting the images for this very bluesy and at times dark exploration of the 'swings and roundabouts' of having breasts, i was trying to find photos of gorgeous Beccy not smiling - not easy! As the song is about boobs, I've hopefully tastefully included some images that help tell the story. Beccy's voice is just incredible in this track; displaying a bluesy feel that i've not heard so powerfully in her discography thus far. The humanity, the humour & the honesty are all there in this great song. I'm advocating that it is time Beccy Cole won an ARIA for Best Country Recording. It is time. This year. Go Beccy!
