Black Stone Cherry does it again with their new bad ass single, Me and Mary Jane!

February 26, 2014

Black Stone Cherry unleash new single, Me and Mary Jane and it ROCKS! One thing is for sure, it delivers the pure style of Southern Rock that is what I love about Black Stone Cherry. Too many times, bands try to come out and reinvent themselves and their sound ends up in a completely different direction of their former self. Also, by no means is Black Stone Cherry playing it safe either.The new song is the perfect example that this band continues to put out bad ass music that everyone wants to hear. The guitars come on mean and strong and the tone is amazing and I love the talk box on the intro. It has such a groove in its energy and the vocals are once again, spectacular. Take a listen to the new bad ass song here: That is one bad ass single! You can pick up the new single, Me and Mary Jane on Itunes here. The single comes off of their upcoming fourth studio album, Magic Mountain. The new album is set [Read More]

Rest in Peace Paco De Lucia, world renowned Spanish flamenco guitarist, composer and producer

February 26, 2014

Paco De Lucia December 21, 1947 – February 26, 2014 It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of one of the world’s greatest Spanish flamenco guitarists, Paco De Lucia. Paco died after suffering a heart attack while playing with family members on a beach in Cancun. Paco has been credited for bringing vibrancy and color into the folk art of flamenco. My father loved flamenco and he loved the way Paco played. I remember my father playing them and asking my son Ryan to teach him to play flamence (even though Ryan didn’t even know how yet). It was months before my father died that he had asked Ryan and sadly he never had the opportunity after my father’s brain injury. Today, let’s celebrate the wonderful life of Paco as he made music that literally spoke to my soul. The sound of his guitar playing was like soothing words wrapped around my heart, drawing out a range of emotions. His playing was phenomenal and he will truly be missed. He influenced [Read More]
