CD Discription - The proof can be found in Greatest Hits, Volume 1, a compliation that comes as close to bottling magic as it's possible to get. The CD brings together the best of the first four of Rascal Flatts' five studio albums, and its 13 cuts--7 of them #1 singles--bring into clear focus the path Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney have taken to the top. Even as Greatest Hits, Volume 1 catalogs the first part of their journey, Rascal Flatts continues to make music that thrills fans in arena after arena and continues to bring to the airwaves one of country's most distinctive and well-loved sounds.

The Thanksgiving Song

I know Adam Sandler isn't really a Musician, but he is a really good Comedian and I thought since it was Thanksgiving I should put up a Thanksgiving song. So here's Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song. I hope you guys like it.

It's the Birthday of Jimi Hendrix

Not only is it Thanksgiving, and I hope you all are having a great one, but it is also the birthday of James Marshall Hendrix aka Jimi Hendrix. He was born on November 27, 1942 and he passed away on September 18, 1970.

He was only on this earth for 28 years, and when you consider what he could do with a guitar, you might wonder if he was really of this earth. I think that a great place to start with his music are the following CDs.

Are You Experienced

One song everyone likes, but nobody knows

There's always that one song from that one band that you really like whether you know who they are or aren't. For me Stacy's Mom was one of those songs. Before then I never knew who Fountains of Wayne were and to this very day I don't really know who they are, but for some reason I really liked that song.

Esential Music: Ella Fitzgerald

There is something so elsential about Ella Fitzgerald and her music. I like to turn as many people on to her as I possible can. Her delevery, diction, power, and mastery of music is something that any fan of music needs to consider.

Marvin Sapp, Never could have made it.


This is one of those songs, that helps me get through the hard times.

Multiple Stellar Award-winner, Grammy-nominee, and perennial gospel music favorite, Marvin Sapp, has succeeded in establishing himself as one of the most recognizable voices in gospel music. Sapp declared himself "not a singer who can preach, but rather a preacher who just happens to sing," and he does both with the case of Thirsty. For Thirsty, Sapp teamed up with producers Aaron Lindsey, Myron Butler, his choir Levi, and New Breed. The cd was recorded live, before a capacity crowd.

Jonas Brothers is back, with a new song(Enjoy!)

It's been a couple of monthes and to me it just seemed like the Jonas Brothers had dropped off the face of the Earth, but it turns out they were just taking a well deserved rest.
They'd never leave us fans hanging(and I guess me and anyone else who thought they would should've known that from the start), so here it is JB's newest Music Video Love Bug.

I guess it really is all about the word play.

One of my favorite Musicians is Jason Mraz. I've always liked him mostly because of his beautiful music and his smooth way with words. I've never seen a guy sing so fast(of course that could just be me)
There's actually two songs of his that I really like, but at the moment I can only remember this one. It's called "Wordplay" and you can totally tell that he knows what he's doing.

Even More Nickleback

Nickelback - Something In Your Mouth (Lyrics)


Lyrics:

Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget but you'd pay her just to touch it come on
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood hadn't caught her she'd be gunnin for ya holler come on

Pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
Anybody and the honey wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(Your such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

Crafty little lip tricks
Tattoos on her left hip
She bending as you're spending
There's no ending its so baby come on

Dressed up like a princess
Beating that her skin smells better
Than the scent of every flower in the desert come on

Pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
Anybody and the honey wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

She loves the night scene bar queen
Living for the fun taking over every dance floor like shes the only one
In the spotlight all night dissing everyone
Trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb

You're so much cooler
When you never pull it out
So much cuter
With something in your mouth

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody

Nickelback - Gotta Be Somebody (Lyrics)


Lyrics:
This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It's just like Déjà Vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up!
Lookin' for that diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.

I have wanted to post something about Darius Rucker for a while now. I was surprised to learn that he is the first African American to have a hit on the country charts since Charley Pride.

As the front man of Hootie & The Blowfish, Darius Rucker has already experienced success - earning 2 Grammy awards and selling over 25 million albums worldwide. Now, embracing his country roots and a music he has always wanted to make, Darius is attracting the attention of country fans who are discovering his voice for the first time, and rewarding Hootie fans with new music featuring one of the most unique voices across any genre of music. Featuring his debut country single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", Learn to Live features 12 undeniable country hits and a voice that is unarguably Darius Rucker. "I have always written country songs...for me, this is really just part of the natural evolution of my career. I plan to be doing this for a long time. This isn't a one album deal - it's a career thing," explains Rucker.

The Status of Kim's Laptop.

Kim's laptop is on the fritz, so I have been doing most of the post lately. But I did get an email from the repair shop and she should be back online soon.

Until then, you guys will have to put up with me and some of my old school musical choices. But I will say that I have been trying hard to learn as much as I can about new music and the stuff that Kim likes. That is the fun for a guy like me who is in his late fortys and who is kind of set in his ways.

Adele First Love Video

Adele - First Love


Adele is a new artist that I really like. I like her voice and her diction, like many Britsh people her accent is so cool.

According to Wikipedia
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988 in Enfield, North London), known professionally as Adele, is an English-Welsh singer. Adele has described her musical style as "heartbroken soul". She is the first recipient of the BRIT Awards Critics' Choice, which was given to artists who, at the time, had yet to release an album. She has noted American jazz and blues singers Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald as influences. She debuted at number one with her Mercury Prize-nominated debut album (19) on the UK album chart; the disc has since been certified platinum with sales of more than 500,000 copies.
