Tighten Up

Cause it's Friday and we all need to jam. I'm a little late jumping aboard the fandom train of The Black Keys, but with their recent album Brothers and the commercialization of their music I'm catching up and getting my full dose. These guys jam... Check out the video for Tighten Up. And turn it up.

In Memory of...

In Memory of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
October 3rd, 1954 - August 27th, 1990.

My first memory and introduction to SRV was sometime when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I had to have worn out the Family Style tape the Vaughan brothers recorded. I would play that tape from begining to end, side A and side B, again and again, learning the lyrics and falling in love with the blues rock sound. That album has to be one of my all time favorites and still is relevant today. At the time my favorite song to listen to and sing was TIck Tock, I think it really stuck out to me because my youthful heart really believed the lyrics.
