It's all about what's gonna happen today. "I believe it's just what I'm meant to do with my life," said DiPiero.Īnd they'll keep doing it as long as the music finds a home in someone's heart. He didn't and it became a number one hit. "Something like 'There Goes My Life,' I looked at Neill Thrasher and we both kind of choked up and we were like that's a good song," said Mobley.īob DiPiero wrote the George Strait song "Blue Clear Sky" and remembers everyone trying to persuade him, even George, to change it to "Clear Blue Sky". Wendell Mobley's voice can silence a room but his words echo long after the last line. To this day, I don't know if that will ever stop being the greatest thrill," said Miller. Everybody shut up and give me three minutes. Even after all these years and you recognize it from the intro, especially if you have the wife and kids in the car. "There is nothing compared to the first time you hear it on the radio. His hits like "In Color" and "You're Gonna Miss This" have been heard worldwide. Our stories and if the people in this room tonight listen to country music, they'll know all the words," said Lee Thomas Miller. It'll be songs about my wife or my kids or my best friend. "In that moment I remember what the idea was about or where we were when we wrote it. For songwriters, it takes them back to when they wrote it. There's always a song that takes you back to a certain place and time. We sat down for an interview with Wendell Mobley, Lee Thomas Miller and Bob DiPiero when they stopped in Waco for the Chords & Conversations showcase to help raise funds for Texas Tech University in Waco. I’ll be doing just that, letting what's out of focus feel that much better when I know it's soft to the auditory touch.(KXXV) - What do Nashville's greatest song writers and Texas Tech alums have in common? They all love a good lyric. The end of this beautiful EP is like letting go of a hand-once strange, now familiar through episodic adventures, stitched together by emotional overlap and fleshy diversions, the urge to just grip it again and dance together into the fuzzy backlit horizon. The EP was a happy accident of pandemic lulls, accidental structure, and an artistic pivot shedding one artistic skin for another, all of which bundles into an aesthetic or living grey area life “distressed to the moment of softness.”Ĭomposed initially with a DIY on the carpet mindset, being “lucky in an unlucky time” allowed Evangeline to collaborate intimately with Dillon Casey, who she credits for being both a great musician and interpreter, a co-architect of the songs that filtered “feelings that need rooms built around them.” The bulk of Fuzzy is sonic vignettes, small portraits captured in notes and melodies, a celebration of life’s awkward gifts whether they be a post-fight walk through the neighborhood with a lover, a pithy exchange with an online nuisance, or a delicious understanding finally understood. While not your typical TikTok nubile by any standard, the promise of this work is unassumingly brilliant, a poetic statement, revealing storytelling cordially nuanced with xylophones, bright guitar chords, and draped by wet, wave-like rhythms.īorn to a creative California family, and having experienced the trappings and pitfalls of artistry under a former project, the warmth of Fuzzy feels like fresh-turned soil, a bed of ideas wanting for ripening. I wanted to gift a paraprosdokian to a fellow writer, but failing that, I want to make clear how wondrously illuminating this debut EP from Evangeline truly is. Good music is fuzzy, hard to discern until it lands softly.
