Wylie Hunter & The Cazadores know a thing or two about love songs. With Durham set to marry itself to a ton of local residents on Saturday, Hunter picked out a couple of love songs as an ode to the beloved–and soon to be betrothed–Bull City. Hunter along with his band The Cazadores will play Fullsteam Brewery along with Scotland’s Admiral Fallow Saturday night.

1. Jonny Corndawg-“Family Tree”- I saw Jonny Corndawg in Brooklyn last weekend, he played a few songs with Dawes and put on a great show of the humor and heartbreak that makes great country music. This is a fun little romp about marriage from his album I’m Not Ready to be a Daddy. Classic.
2. The Beach Boys-“Wouldn’t It Be Nice”-I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it who knows how long ago. When I was in high school this was my anthem about how me and my girlfriend were gonna be together forever.
3. The Avett Bros-“January Wedding”-It’s harder than you’d think to find country or rock songs that mention weddings in a positive light, but this is one of the prettier ones.
4. Al Green-“Love and Happiness”-Al Green knows better than most how to get to the heart of an issue. Especially love. This is a soulful, realistic take on what it means to be in love.
5. Bruce Springsteen-“She’s the One”-Not necessarily a song about marriage, more like young wild love that you think you can’t live without. The best version of this song is the live recording from Hammersmith Odeon, London 1975.
