Black Hole Sun (Cover) – Peter Frampton An incredible cover of Soundgarden‘s “Black Hole Sun” by Peter Frampton; I love his take, swapping vocals for guitar and adding a “vocal solo” with his signature talk box. Absolutely killer performance by a very underappreciated (at least lately) guitar player. Link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU8yuWddw0E Read more

On the Hunt – Lynyrd Skynyrd Often overlooked by their more well-known songs,“On the Hunt” by Skynyrd has one of the tastiest guitar licks of the southern legend’s catalog. The crunch is perfect and it’s just one of those ones that makes you feel like a badass when you’re listening to it. The opening 30… Read more

Fadeaway- BoDeans I think my dad introduced me to the BoDeans when I was in high school, with this song, “Fadeaway,” as well as their biggest hit, “Closer To Free.” I don’t know a ton about the BoDeans themselves, but they’re from Wisconsin and randomly made an appearance on the Netflix show, The Ranch, which… Read more

Hard Times – Paramore Haley Williams is one of the coolest frontwomen of all time, bringing an awesome energy and great vocals to all their songs. Traditionally, I think Paramore is considered a rock band, but like many rock acts of the 2000s (Fall Out Boy comes to mind), their sound has evolved over time,… Read more

Where Did Our Love Go (Live) – The J Geils Band Just perusing my music library, there are usually some cool gems I can find that I’d totally forgotten about. In this case, The J Geils Band covering The Supremes‘ classic “Where Did Our Love Go“. I love the guitar work here by John Geils.… Read more

Summertime Rolls – Jane’s Addiction Summertime Rolls by Jane’s Addiction is one of those songs that just sounds like a Jane’s Addiction song. So true to their style and sound, even if you had never heard it before, if you were at all familiar with Jane’s Addiction, you could probably guess it was their work.… Read more

Flirtin’ with Disaster – Molly Hatchet Molly Hatchet‘s classic “Flirtin’ With Disaster” just makes you wanna commit a bank heist or maybe more mildly, go 5 over the speed limit. It’s a spectrum, I think. I love the energy from this barn burner, and the drums and guitars have such a dramatic and “epic” vibe… Read more

Keep On Smilin’ – Wet Willie Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie (among many others) was one of the featured performers at the In Memory of Dickie Betts show, and at the age of 75 years young, his voice is still really damn good. I was really impressed by how strong his voice still is, especially… Read more

My experience This past weekend I had the honor to attend the “In Memory of Dickey Betts” concert in Macon, and I figured I’d give a few points and observations. I really hope they do an official release of the performance. The energy and creativity displayed during the show was outstanding. I feel extremely lucky… Read more

Eat A Peach – The Allman Brothers Band “You can’t help the revolution, because there’s just evolution … Every time I’m in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace” – Duane Allman My favorite Allman Bros album, and one of my favorite albums of all time. Duane‘s last studio work before his death. I’ve already written about… Read more
