Feel-good Friday: Leona Naess – Leave Your Boyfriends Behind

The video’s kind of lame, but I’m loving the CD it’s from, Thirteens. I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Naess opening for Ray LaMontagne at the Ryman a couple of months ago. I already liked her just fine, but the one album I had of hers was not exactly what I had wanted it to be when I bought it. That night, though, she was so good it hurt, and her latest follows suit.

Incidentally, this song is on the album twice–once toward the beginning, and once at the end. The latter instance is a nice surprise, as her ex-fiance (and the tormentedly tormenting love of my life), Ryan Adams, makes a guest appearance sporting his sleepy-sexy voice.

It’s a fun song with some surprisingly deep lyrical turns in the verses.

P.S. I don’t do Christmas after the fact, so forgive me for not even attempting a holiday video. It’s a…thing, I don’t know. Sorry.
