July 28, 200917 yr For those rap fans out there, Wiz Khalifa is the dude I'm listening to this week. Probably go back and forth with Drake. Download some Kid Cudi and Wale. Similar to Drake and really good stuff...
July 28, 200917 yr Repurchased Steve Earle's 'Trancendental Blues'. What a great album. Just purchased Daughtry's 2nd album. A couple of nice surprises. A country style song called 'Tennessee Line' sung with Vince Gill on background and 2nd vocals is very good. 'Open your eyes' written with Ben Moody is solid. It doesn't have as many of the rockers as his first album or as many ballads, but a pretty good 2nd effort.

If I'd had a few more bucks with me the other day, I'd have picked up his album of Townes Van Zandt cover tunes.
July 28, 200917 yr I like all of their albums, a lot, for different reasons with each one. But their best album, absolutely, is their second one, "Aha Shake Heartbreak." Just to update you on where I am with my listening... I'm not sure what happened, but something triggered one day and I absolutely love Kings of Leon now. Songs that I had listened to before and kind of brushed to the side, I can't stop listening to. My favorite track is "Fans". I don't own "Aha Shake Heartbreak" yet, but I will buy it ASAP. I've got the other 3.

Songs that I had listened to before and kind of brushed to the side, I can't stop listening to. My favorite track is "Fans". I don't own "Aha Shake Heartbreak" yet, but I will buy it ASAP. I've got the other 3. "Fans" is a really cool song that I sometimes forget about -- mostly because I have a hard time remembering song names, but also because it's on the record I listen to the least of the four. That's not to say I don't like "Because Of The Times," but more because I'm so caught up in "Aha Shake Heartbreak." "Fans" really works well because you're instantly hooked in by the bass line followed by the drum, which ties the whole thing together and gives the guitars and vocals chances to play around a lot. One of the neat things about KOL is that their tunes, as often as not, are bass-driven or drum-driven, and far more so than most rock bands.
July 28, 200917 yr Author "Charmer" is another pretty cool tune off that record. It took me a couple times scrambling around looking for my phone and then cursing the prank caller on the other end before I figured this one out.
July 28, 200917 yr "Charmer" definitely took a few listens for me... I really like it now, though. "Molly's Chambers" is a great one too.. "Cold Desert" off the new album... I'm just hooked. Seeing them at Rupp October 10.

I've been thinking about suspending my $30 rule for a special occasion, and kicking myself for not seeing them last fall in L'ville before they blew up. :ohbrother:

July 29, 200917 yr If I'd had a few more bucks with me the other day, I'd have picked up his album of Townes Van Zandt cover tunes. I have never heard that one. I will have to try and find it. Funny that more artists are coming out with vinyl albums as well as cds these days again. Vinyl really is making a comeback. I believe that the Chickenfoot album is available on vinyl as well as cd.
