Jaelee Roberts’ “Between The Two Of Us” Celebrates the Joy of Lasting Love

There's a sweet spot between straight ahead bluegrass and acoustic country, and few young singer/songwriters occupy that space more naturally than Mountain Home Music Company's Jaelee Roberts. After a bold acoustic reworking of classic rock's "Stuck in the Middle With You" and the 'grassy heartbreaker original, "Georgia Rain," Roberts - nominated for this year's International Bluegrass Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year award - is back with another original that reveals further evidence, not just of her compelling vocals, but an emotional range broad enough to encompass a sweetly declarative love song.
"'Between The Two Of Us' was written with my friends Donna Ulisse and Kristen Bearfield," says Roberts. "When we got together, we agreed that we'd like to write something up-tempo and happy, and 'Between The Two Of Us' is the result of that session. It truly is a happy song about love lasting between two people, and what you have to do to achieve that."
From its gentle guitar opening through the assertive melodies that underpin the confidence of the chorus's forthright declaration:
If we never let a fear try to have its way
If we never let a fight see the light of day
If our two hearts agree that no one gets a say
In who we are, our love stays safe
Between the two of us
and an instrumental interlude that features a dazzling conversation between fiddle, resonator guitar, mandolin, guitar and banjo, the Byron House-produced track builds masterfully on a momentum that feels as if it's going to release into traditional bluegrass rhythms, yet never breaks away from the contemporary feel of its syncopation.
"Getting to hear this song come together in the studio was really amazing," Roberts enthuses, "and I am so thrilled with the end result. The musical arrangement provided by Ron Block, Andy Leftwich, Cody Kilby, Byron House, Justin Moses, Stuart Duncan, and John Gardner absolutely made this song even more special than I could have imagined! To top it off, Stephen Mougin and Kelsi Harrigill joined me on harmonies and their voices were the perfect touch to convey the message of the song. I hope y'all enjoy this love song that is filled with words of hope, joy and encouragement...'Between The Two Of Us.'"
"Between The Two Of Us" is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL. Listen to it HERE.
