Life experiences can shape how you listen to a song. Maybe a song that I have always enjoyed means a lot more now because I relate to it differently now.

I Teach My Kids The Important Stuff And They Rock! 2008-07-26 06:41:00 I am very happy to say that it is evident that I passed on my love for music down to my three little boys. It probably would have been impossible for this not to happen considering they were all exposed to it before they were even born.I have never bought those kid type of cd's for them. They have always listened to what I listen to on the radio. In the tradition of my father, I started training t

Acoustic Guitar Driven Feel Good Rock 2008-07-23 07:46:00 Indie Music Review: Chad Mackey Band"Acoustic
guitar driven "feel good" rock" is how Chad Mackey describes his new album. I couldn't agree more due to the mellow sound this 21 year old from Asheville, NC produces.Chad's music is a mix of acoustic, rock and pop. His lyrics are inspired by everyday life which makes it easy for listeners to relate to his songs.He often performs with his fiancée, Lin Read more:Guitar

Loving It All Summer Long 2008-07-21 16:01:00 I was in my truck driving when I heard Kid Rock's new song "All Summer
Long" for the first time. It was one of those instances where I loved the song within the first few lines. It reminds me of good times with my man when we were both a heck of a lot younger.Unfortunately, a lot of die hard Lynyrd Skynyrd fans might not like it because it has the tune from "Sweet Home Alabama" in it, and they thi Read more:Loving

Alice Has Pearl Jam In Chains 2008-09-08 08:49:00 Grunge music: You either love it or hate it. It came out at the time in my life where I was starting to enter adulthood. Grunge basically ended the era of the hair bands. Admittedly, I loved "glam rock" because it suited my teenage years just fine. Yet, grunge was a welcome change adding a more serious note to the lyrics and my life.I think of the three grandfathers of grunge as Nirvana, Pearl

Nirvana Versus Green Day 2008-09-03 09:46:00 When Nirvana
and Green
Day hit the music scene, both made a major impact to say the least. Their music is different and the timing was a few years apart, but both bands changed music then and the effects will be long lasting. Who though, do you think will leave the bigger mark on music in the end?Nirvana entered mainstream music with the release of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the early 90's. This Read more:Green Day
