Western songs you want to listen to in the morning: BGM for the breakfast table (31–40)

RunawayLove and Theft

At first glance, this group looks like an ordinary rock band, but they’re actually a country music–style band.

I don’t think they’re all that popular in Japan, yet their plays have surpassed one million, so it seems they’re getting solid results in the U.S.

The songs are well-balanced too, so I believe they’ve got real ability.
