The Young Fables “Daddy’s Girl”: YouTube Nashville Sessions performance marks yet another major step in the independent country music career of this beloved Nashville duo. After an explosive few years, this folk-inspired act is making tidal waves in Nashville’s country scene.
Leading into their upcoming record “Old Songs”, this performance highlights the intimate side of this duo’s songwriting. “Daddy’s Girl” is an intricate melody of guitars layered beneath soft, southern vocals. The storytelling nature of the writing tugs on the heartstrings as singer Laurel Wright recounts her life and father. With the charm of her tone and expression, the song feels like it comes from the feeling of familial love. It’s a reminder of good times with loved ones, a way of life for small town America, and that magic comes to life in the lyrics.
Guitarist Wesley Lunsford provides a lead melody that is latent with soft, dreamy tones. His picking interacts with Laurel’s acoustic melody in a playful way, complementing her acoustic strums. It’s this kind of synchronicity that shows the true talent these artists possess. Because Nashville is so full of guitar-strumming musicians, Wes and Laurel put serious time into their craft to stand out from the competition. Now, it seemingly comes as second nature as the two harmonize vocals as well.

Though the video is colorless, the song itself is rich with life. In fact, the black and white video performance actually highlights this attribute between the two in rich, contrasting tones. Even
with YouTube’s impressive production quality, it’s Wes and Laurel that make this video. However, it doesn’t hurt to have such a heavy hitter showing the two off.
In the world of self-promoted music careers, YouTube is a giant. As a result, these two are sure to reap the benefits of such a juggernaut inviting them to perform. Most noteworthy, this wasn’t luck. It was the dedication of two talented musicians, who caught their break one step at a time, that brought The Young Fables here.
On top of all this, the current media buzz they are generating, and a recent show at the Ryman, have these two well on their way to country stardom. The best part is, they braved this trail without a major label. The Young Fables put the work in with fervor, and that hard work is the secret sauce to their success. There isn’t a bigger fan of these two than Nashville Unsigned.
