Got my list in! Her albums are so hard to rank because every song is always at least good. "Keys to the Kingdom" better not get done dirty in this rankdown. What a scintillating masterpiece of a song.

didn't realize this was due today. I want to do this but won't be able to until the weekend so I guess I am out unfortunately. Have enjoyed checking out her albums though so I will try and give this a listen still and follow along.

Sorry for the delay guys. I’ve been really busy with midterms and projects, but my spring break starts in a few days, so I’ll definitely start this by the end of this coming week.

Yasss, me too! "This Heaven" isn't bad by any means. I had no idea what to put at the bottom of this album though, and after several varied lists, this was one that kept coming up the lowest. So I'd never skip it, but I also probably wouldn't actively seek it out unless I was listening to this whole album.

This album is flawless so some things just had to go towards the bottom!

This Heaven: Although this isn't one of my favorites on the album, I was surprised to see this leave first, tbh. Love the metaphor usage in the lyrics, and her vocals are on-point. However, I feel like the melody is lackluster compared to her other songs, and that's what held it back a bit for me. Still a fantastic song that is better than 99% of today's mainstream country songs.
I'm Trying To: I relate to this song so much, but I feel like this doesn't really stand out compared to the other songs on the record, so I see why it was the second song to leave. It feels like it's missing something... Maybe a more emotionally-invested vocal performance would have done the trick. She sounds pretty bored on this one, not gonna lie.
Daddy I Told You: This song is really sweet and I love how personal it is for her. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have ranked this in my last place. However, this is the one song I don't really go back to revisit; I always forget about this one for some reason. Still a great song like literally everything else on the record... some are just more great than others.

The other two were expected, but I'm a little shocked that I'm alone in my love for "Daddy I Told You." That one has always stood out to me as one of the highlights from Sparrow. Gorgeous song imo.

I love 10 of the 12 songs here (the other two are still great). I felt like I should've ranked DITY higher but the songs I have in my top 6 just wouldn't budge when I tried making room. "I'm Trying To" was an obvious bottom contender for me, doesn't stand out in anyway imo. "This Heaven" is gorgeous but I went into this knowing it would have trouble staying in long...and I was completely right there lol

I never would’ve expected to see “This Heaven” come in last but then again I guess this song isn’t for everyone as the simple melody might not grab everyone’s attention like it does mine. Ashley’s vocal delivery on this song along should’ve been enough for it to escape last place…
Which I thought was going to be “Daddy I Told You” and while I like the song it just isn’t something I found relatable on a personal level but I can see it might be for others.

There are only 3 slots left in the next Best of the Best rankdown, so this will guarantee that Ashley Monroe gets another song into it :)

Rita: Ummmm, THOSE STRINGS THOUGH. Omg, I can go on and on about this song! I hate myself for only giving this a #5 rank. Such simple lyrics, yet they're so effective and deep. Love it.
Mother's Daughter: I love the whole premise of this song ("she's her mother's daughter") as well as the chorus. This is a really strong album track. I wish she was a superstar so this could have been a single and smashed.
She Wakes Me Up: This is pretty middling in my opinion, but it's still a great album track. The "oh my baby you're my angel" always gets stuck in my head lmao.
Paying Attention: This song kind of hurts to listen to... it puts me in my feels 'cause I find it so relatable. Unfortunately it's (comparatively) not the most interesting song sonically and vocally, hence my lower ranking.
Wild Love: This song is flawless. I should have ranked it in my top three, but it was pretty close! One of my favorite songs of all time by her. <3
Keys to the Kingdom: This song I kinda underranked even though I know it's pretty loved by most. It just never really clicked with me the way it probably should've. I know, I'm pathetic for not loving this. It continues to grow on me though. :)
