Brinner or Brupper... whatever you call it, we had breakfast for dinner/supper & Our musical selection this evening is Joy Williams

Okay, so I unintentionally lied about making a new recipe on Monday or being back on schedule. I didn't try anything new and I didn't blog and even worse I didn't do my Bible Study that day. For dinner on Monday I made breakfast, we had egg biscuits. My daughter had egg and cheese. I had sausage and a touch of jelly on my biscuits and had my eggs on the side. We're the only ones that ate dinner that night.
MUSIC
I said yesterday I would further discuss the individual artists from the duo The Civil Wars so I will start today with Joy Williams only because I had heard of her prior to the two of them combining their musical talents. In fact, one of my all time favorite Christian songs is sung by Joy, Hungry (Falling On My Knees). She also has a few ep's that are full of fun music. I will include several of her songs because she has had a varied career. Speaking a Dead Language is from her ep Songs from That and it is another song that I seriously LOVE! The final few are from her most recent album, VENUS. Welcome Home is my very favorite and for personal reasons it makes me cry every time I hear it. Woman (Oh Mama) is one she actually has a video for and it was the first song she released from this album. It is unlike her other songs so I included it because it's unique and it's probably the one most people know about. And finally, the final one I will share is What a Good Woman Does because while it is one of my favorites, it is also a slap in the face to John Paul White, her ex band mate. It is part great song and part hateful whiny woman. In fact, I said it seemed like a slap in the face to JPW on her facebook page and she blocked me from being able to comment on her page, which also seems like an immature thing to do. All together I think she is one of my favorite voices to listen to and I love her music but she is very much a woman that likes to showcase her emotions publicly and has a hard time getting over stuff. As a musician I love her but as a person I am not so sure. I will say this, when I met The Civil Wars in Nashville she was the one that seemed more like a people person and John Paul seemed quiet and shy. Either way, her music should be listened to and enjoyed immensely.
