Whips and Chains by David Allan Coe is a weird song. It is probably my least favorite song that he does. It just goes to show that you can write a song about almost anything though. I don’t think this one made it very big because I had never …

When you heard about Paramore, I’m sure you will feel emo with this band, with their song or their style. They made many song that really rock when I hear it. This song, we are broken is different compare with the other song. It’s melodic is slower and don’t …

This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …

Hank Jones: Sweet Dreams was the second CD released in recent years by the entertainer. Jones actually spends most all of his time now in the field of genealogy, where he’s written many notable books. Before that took center stage for him, though, he was an actor …
