Ruby Red

lunaluthier this might be my favorite Love Language album, though it’s hard to pick just one and Baby Grand is definitely up there too… I always love the chord progressions and Stu’s voice is just huge and great, and I love that he often sings his own harmonies. really this whole album is amazing, Calm Down and Hi Life are favorites for the happy defiant vibe, that whistle on For Izzy is haunting, but I think First Shot will have to be the fave here because that beat! so good Favorite track: First Shot.
