Always the Love Songs (Commentary)

This is Big Machine Radio, I am Becca
And we are talking to Eli Young Band about their new album
"This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits"
And this next song that we're gonna play, it's significant for the band
Because it was their first Top 20 hit
It was on their "Jet Black & Jealous" album
And the guys say not only was it their first Top 20 hit
But they feel like this song, called "Always the Love Songs'"
Creates and interesting discovery process
For some of their later fans who hadn't heard this song from early on in their career

"Always the Love Songs" is the first song
That we really heard on the radio everywhere and all over the country
And it never gets old, but you know, it's like
"Holy cow, we're getting airplay everywhere"

A lot of folks that hear us live
It's almost like they didn't realize that that song was our song
Because it was before the big hits
But it was played enough on radio, people were familiar with it
And it's funny because it happens a lot
People say, "I didn't even realize that that was y'all"
Now with "The Greatest Hits" record, maybe they'll realize

That's one of the cool things about this new "Greatest Hits" album from Eli Young Band
If you're a recent fan, it's gonna give you a chance to discover some of their earlier hits
Again, this was their first Top 20 song
It's "Always the Love Songs'" on Big Machine Radio
