boygenius - Cowboy Take Me Away (Live on KEXP) 

Cowboygenius take me away

southern 90s kids who rode around in their moms car listening to country radio will get the feels listening to this

These girls make me believe that the lint in my pocket has meaning.

WOW!! Julien Baker...I used to work at guitar center off Stage rd/64 (outside of Memphis) and she was a youngster in there buying up effect pedals. I remember helping her often bc she had really good taste in pedals and knew her gear! Congrats to you and all your success!! Love the cover and it appears you're surrounded by AMAZING SOULS 👏

Such beautiful voices in exquisite harmony, but I do wish they'd given the violinist credit in the description. Her contribution is an important part of what makes this performance so special.

Country fits boygenius like a glove.

Need this on Spotify so bad

The way Julien delivers that first "sounds good to me" reduces me to existential sobs every time.

*Sad yeehaw*

i was raised on The Chicks and somehow only just discovered this cover and i LOVE boygenius and all its members solo careers so you can imagine i'm freaking out rn

Lucy’s voice is sublime.

Lucy's verses are just so damn good

This Dixie Chicks CD was the first CD I ever owned as a kid. Hearing my favorite band now cover it is so unbelievably magical and nostalgic

Seeing Julien smile while she's singing makes me feel so many things but mostly Gay

90's country is a special kind of nostalgia. Puts me back in the backseat of my grandmas '90 Escort, studying the detail of the Nasa sticker I had stuck to the back passenger window, mouthing the words to every song.

i want a studio version of this on boygenius 2

Damn, does the girl playing violin get a credit? This cover is pretty good but SHE makes it beautiful.

Good loorddddd this is fantastic. I never thought I'd see the day I'd see julien baker singing dixie chicks.

I was a huge Dixie Chicks fan and they continue to hold a very special place in my heart to this day. This was always one of my favorites of theirs and hearing boygenius, one of my all time favorite bands ever, cover it is nothing short of heaven.

I just can't believe the absolute sheer talent these 3 have as a group. Just magic.

I am ready for a full cowboygenius country album

Julien's SMILE IS EVERYTHING

why isn’t this on spotify i’m dying

Just when I thought Julien Baker couldn't get any better she goes and does this.

im late to this but lucy in the upper register for the second verse is PEAK

This is an unexpected crossover but im here for it.

The dark hair singers part is just so Dam beautiful

I think I fell in love separately with each of them at different points during this song

oh no i hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me 😳

My job is really stressful these days and playing this song on repeat calms me down

I keep coming back to their cover of this song over and over again. It never disappoints. Never.

I often wake up with country songs from my childhood; my mom's music; stuck in my head. Usually it's infuriating, soulless, overproduced Nashville pop country. Sometimes it's the Chicks or other great stuff. Whenever it's this song, and it often is, I'm glad. And this is the best version of it I've ever heard. Fantastic.

All three of them have such amazing voices

I could listen to Lucy sing all day. I love them all

this... is the greatest thing I've ever heard. It's almost infuriating. This was on RU-vid for me to enjoy for a whole SIX DAYS before I found it????????????? Unforgivable.

Round of applause for the audio engineer(s).

their smiles have my whole heart melting ... there is nothing more perfect than this

the giggles at the end bubbled somewhat awkwardly over my aching heart. So beautiful. Each voice incredible in its own way: Julien touching, Lucy angelic yet powerful, Phoebe cuts like a knife.

I saw Lucy Dacus perform at First Avenue in Minneapolis last year. The show was amazing, and because she had an injured back, she had to either sit or lie down through the entire show. If boygenius goes on tour, I will be there!

This is a stunner. Also I don’t own nearly enough personalized blazers.

The way Phoebe smiles at Julien singing/playing the beginning is an entire mood.

Also can we pause and just appreciate the hell out of Camille here? The violin (I think? *tips head* could be viola) just MAKES this song and I always have this half-idea that they're like "hey, do you know this song?" and she's like "I mean, if I don't, I'll make something up" because it literally feels like she can improvise along with anything.

Julien's look at around 0:20 is insane.

We need an official release of this

This is so outrageously stunning. I’m completely blown away

The album ‘Home’ from the (Dixie) Chicks is one of best country albums ever.

Isn't this just beautiful and etherial? And not so different from the original? I love when bands can make something sound like them without also not making it NOT sound like the song we're familiar with. That's artistry.

I think I've listened to this 100 times in a row by now. Well, not really, but it sure feels like it. This is damn good.

I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of blue bonnets In a blanket made of stars Oh, it sounds good to me I said, cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you Closer to you Cowboy take me away Closer to you

These girls kill it. Gorgeous and they can actually sing. Nice! I love it. The red lipstick girl is amazing.

The Holy Trinity.

I have no idea why this showed up in my recommended...but I'm glad it did!

It's Julien's smiles for me 🥺

How lucky for us these ladies found each other to come together as a very talented group. And they even have fun doing it! 💖💖💖

This is absolutely amazing. They can sure harmonize. Brings tears to my eyes...

holy SHIT i am CRYING

LUCY ARE YOU KIDDING literally heavenly

Everything about this is mesmerizing: their voices, the sounds, all of them.

Much better version here with everything stripped down and simplified. So pure and clean. Love it!

That IS what passionate intensity looks and breathes like! Bravo to the staff at Avast for a great job with the audio. No credit for the violinist? Comon'...

Easily one of the best covers I’ve ever heard

I hope we never live in a world where there is not a place for these ladies

best cover of all time i think

Extremely impressive. I admire these women. Phenomenal.

Why have I never seen this before-

Beautiful cover and definitely lives up to the spirit of the original!

Oh my soul is lifted

Julien Baker's voice is angelic.

Wow !! You girls did an awesome job covering the Chicks. Simply beautiful. So far this is my favorite cover of Cowboy Take Me Away. Thanks so much.

how am I just now finding this!!

So nice hearing such incredible vocals, and so refreshing not sung in American Idol style that has become nauseatingly ubiquitous.

Youngsters! It's your world now.

Just Beautiful!!

Those little giggles at the end of the song just help emphasize that those absolutely amazing musicians are just young girls. Blows my mind how good they already are!

And two years later, The Chicks noticed this cover!!!

Absolutely beautiful!

This a beautiful version of this song🖤

Beautiful voices & Beautiful strings! THANKS!

such an NPR nerd thing, but I found you guys from when Phoebe did Wait Wait, but I'm glad I found everyone else as well.

this is my favorite cover of all time

This video is so much better than your average 'Stealth Camping' or 'Tree cutting fail' videos.

BEAUTIFUL SHOWSTOPPING SPECTACULAR

Outstanding! Well done.

A very good version of the original. Beautiful harmonies surrounded by wonderfully crafted instrumentals.

This is just beautiful
