Music: The Wild Pony Mixtape (Roswell New Mexico)

[impala_chick]

Maria DeLuca owns a bar in Roswell called The Wild Pony, where all the locals gather for a good time. She also does palm readings and is in touch with her spiritual side. She was best friends with Liz and Alex in high school, and in season one of Roswell she gets to reconnect with both of them. She finds herself drawn into alien drama, and in the process she learns more about her family's past.

The Wild Pony is always playing music, and Maria even occasionally takes up the mic. I think she would use her bar to play music from the newest country voices. This playlist captures songs that describe her but also fit the vibe of The Wild Pony. Plus, most of the artists are prominent black voices in the country music scene.

01. Beer with My Friends
Shy Carter

🎶Pop a top or two and talk about way back when
It's been too long no matter how long it's been🎶

02. Them Girls Do
Willie Jones

🎶Raised right but they sure got a wild side🎶

03. Go Around
Kane Brown

🎶We could be a story 'bout love in a bar
Or a "What If's" song on an old guitar🎶

04. Black Myself
Amythyst Kiah

🎶I washed away my blood and tears
I've been born brand new
There's no more work horses
But still some work to do🎶

05. Wildflowers and Wild Horses
Lainey Wilson

🎶Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses
With wildflowers and wild horses🎶

06. a hundred years old
Brittney Spencer

🎶Whoever said time can heal a heart
Must have been a hundred years old🎶

07. Told You I Could Drink
BRELAND feat. Lady A

🎶Told you I could drink, told you I'd be fine
Told you I would move on if you left me behind🎶

08. Nightflyer
Allison Russell

🎶I'm the moon's dark side, I'm the solar flare
The child of the earth, the child of the air🎶

09. Wild Horses
Bishop Briggs

🎶So, I keep on damning the devil
And you keep on saying it's alright🎶

10. Stand for Myself
Yola

🎶Now I'm alive, it's hard to explain
It took this much time, and took this much pain
You can get here if you're willing🎶


I also made a couple icons featuring Maria in episode 1x09 when she sang at a karaoke night.

The true test of a fanmix is whether it's good while driving! Thanks for the comment :D

MARIA! She is one of my faves on ths show, and I love that you pulled together a fanmix for her!! Her singing Alanis at karaoke is such a great scene. :D

And I love that you focused on country music and highlighted Black artists for this mix. Country isn't a genre I'm very familiar with, so I'm really excited to listen and check out the songs! So cool, thanks for sharing!

[impala_chick]

Thank you :D Maria is one of my favs too, and it was so fun to hear her sing in the show.

I only listened to a few of the songs but they were so good, so happy and and hopeful and powerful! ♡ I don't know the character but I can tell that she's awesome, from your description and from the songs you chose for her. :D

[impala_chick]
