Think back to 2015, when The Black Crowes called it quits for supposedly the final time. Who knew we would get another studio album from these guys? I’m not even sure if the Robinson brothers knew they’d release a new record in 2024. But you know what, props to them for putting their issues behind... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie, my first exposure to Free was through American Idol, when David Cook performed “All Right Now” during the semi-finals of season seven; I was 9 years old back then. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite performances from the show. “All Right Now” is a classic, for a reason,... Continue Reading →
After my Disney College Program ended, I was unemployed, so I had a lot of free time on my hands. While everyone was working, I had to stay home and look after my dog, Roxy. Of course, I ended up watching YouTube all day and I’d be lying if I said that my watch history... Continue Reading →

But instead of complaining and stressing about that, I decided to check out a band that is young, hot, and still going strong. Who could possibly fit that description? Well, Rival Sons, of course. On August... Continue Reading →

I’ve heard the name Lynyrd Skynyrd throughout my whole life, but I didn’t dive into their catalog until after Gary Rossington’s death. While I love their classic stuff with original singer Ronnie Van Zant, I also really dig their songs with Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie’s younger brother. However, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s decision to reform and carry... Continue Reading →
Album title tracks can be a hit or miss. Sometimes, the title track could be the best song on the album. The title track could also be the worst song on the album. Other times, the title track could be decent, but not great. Take the title track from AC/DC’s Ballbreaker (1995) album as an... Continue Reading →
Recently, I’ve been diving into Steve Gorman’s Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes book, which was released in 2019.
