MsS: Ain't no woman like a Georgia Peach.

Ain't no woman like a Georgia Peach.

Whenever summer time rolls around, you always expect there to be some sort of hot summer time anthem that everyone ends up loving. Whether it be a song telling you to lean back or rock away, or just a straight up catchy tune that everyone is singing. Is there a song like that for this summer? Beats me. But last summer I heard this song that I was hoping would have at least all of Georgia singing. The song was GA Peach by Anthony David.

Anthony David is a local singer/songwriter who released an album last year called Three Chords and the Truth. Most of the tracks have a acoustic guitar driven R&B feel to them, and Anthony's soulful voice sounds great singing them.

The first single off the album was the Southern Girl appreciation song, GA Peach. As you might have guessed, the song is about the many reasons Georgia girls are so great. Now, while you might think that a song that refers to women as peaches would come off maybe a little sleazy, this song doesn't at all, even when Anthony is referring to Georgia women's shapely figures (Coca-cola bottle shape from the red clay/I'ma love a Georgia woman til my dying day). Anthony sings about the women he sees in an adoring tone, and this song is a way to honor all the different kinds of women in the peach state. Although, I'm still a little bummed that Anthony shouted out College Park and not East Point. If you've listened to ANY Outkast AT ALL, I know you've heard about College Park and East Point.

My other two favorite tracks from the record are 50/50 Love and Cold Turkey. 50/50 Love is a reggae song about being equal in a relationship, and Cold Turkey is about a man who just can't stop thinking about a woman. While drastically different from GA Peach, these two songs show Anthony's diversity when it comes to writing songs. And if you only want to listen to one song, I'd say check out Cold Turkey 'cause I dig it a bunch.
