September 25, 2013

Many people can’t name a pop/rock band that has survived six consecutive decades… Well, that honor can be bestowed upon Chicago. Chicago has continuously captured the hearts of many and today they did it again as they released their new song, “America”. The band currently consists of Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, Jimmy Pankow, and Walt Parazaider (who have been with the band since its origins in 1967); Jason Scheff (since 1985); Tris Imboden (since 1990); Keith Howland (since 1995); Lou Pardini (since 2009, though he toured with the band in 1999 and 2007);and Walfredo Reyes (since 2012). As band co-founder Lee Loughnane explains, “America is a song that has been waiting to be written for many yearsThe core message of “America is you and me”, intuitively resonates with people. Chicago‘s grass-roots message, far from being polarizing, is crafted to inspire people of all political perspectives, who, though disagreeing vehemently on many points, still share common fears and hopes for the future of the nation – we are truly all in this together.” When you first listen [Read More]

Full Devil Jacket is Josh Brown on Vocals, Brian Kirk and Paul Varnick on Guitars, Moose Douglass on Bass and Keith Foster on Drums.  They have been busy working with Justin Rimer (12 Stones) at Cross Trax Studios and I just heard one of their first songs from the upcoming album, “Seven Times Down” and it is going to blow your mind!!! Last night I was busy cooking dinner with the family as I received an email with the new song, had the kids play it as I cook and instantly all of us were in love with it.

Black Label Society “UNBLACKENED” out now!

September 24, 2013

Black Label Society release their highly awaited CD/DVD of their stripped down performance from the Club Nokia in Los Angeles several months ago. By no means is it stripped down in quality and performance! UNBLACKENED is Unbelievable, whether you are a long time Zakk Wylde and BLS  fan or just finding out about this new album. You will be treated to live renditions that create an incredible bluesy rock jam style feel to them. The DVD/CD is quite amazing. It was filmed and recorded earlier this year at famed Los Angeles’ “Club Nokia”.  Zakk Wylde in addition to his vocals, plays both guitar and piano, joined by Nick Catanase on guitar, John DeServio on bass/vocals, Chad Szeliga on drums, Derek Sherinian on keyboards/piano, and Greg Locascio providing additional vocals. Some of my favorites so far are Sold My Soul,  House of Doom, Queen of Sorrow, Throwing it All Away, Rust, I Thank You Child, Song for You and of course Ain’t No Sunshine.  But believe me, the list can go and on with every song.
