I forgot to post earlier that I saw a CD for sale called Best Of Southern Rock.

There are only 10 songs on the CD and one of them is Smokin' In the Boy's Room by Brownsville Station, a Michigan band from Ann Arbor. That's only a 55 minute drive for me, but it is south of here. ::) Cub Koda, the lead singer, guitarist, harmonica player, co-writer, and all-around wild-man, was a native of Detroit. He previously formed several bands when he was at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, a literal pain in the butt 7 hour drive from Detroit, and definitely not in the south. The only thing Marquette is south of is Lake Superior and not by very much. You can probably see the lake, to the east if not the north, from the university campus.

Another song is Slow Ride by Foghat from London, England, United Kingdom. They didn't sound like southerners to me and I never thought of them as a southern rock band. Another song is Dixie Chicken by Little Feat from Los Angeles, California. You could say they sometimes played a southern rock style, like Creedence Clearwater Revival from El Cerrito, California in the San Francisco Bay Area did. So with only 7 songs from southern bands, and one band from a completely different continent, I wouldn't call this the definitive Southern Rock collection. Ed King, writer of Born To Run, was a guitarist for psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock from Los Angeles, California, and guitarist and bassist for Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1972 to 1975 and again from 1987 to 1996, so that makes it a southern rock song.

Track Listing

 1. Born To Run - Lynyrd Skynyrd
 2. Slow Ride (Single Version) - Foghat
 3. Jim Dandy - Black Oak Arkansas
 4. Dixie Chicken - Little Feat
 5. Bring Down The Hammer - Georgia Satellites
 6. Smokin' In the Boy's Room - Brownsville Station
 7. Brickyard Road l - Johnny Van Zant
 8. Queen Of Memphis - Confederate Railroad
 9. Highway Song (Single Version) - Blackfoot
10. Mississippi Moon Dog - Molly Hatchet

I just got done listening to the Stranger in Town album by Bob Seger. It came out in 1978 and was certified not just gold, but platinum, less than a month later. It eventually went 6× Platinum and all 4 singles ended up on one of his greatest hits albums. Greatest Hits was certified Diamond (over 10,000,000 copies sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) last year.

I've been thinking of getting a bigger TV.

I think I already mentioned the Australian band Silverchair. Their first album, Frogstomp, came out when all 3 members of the band were only 15 years old. Here are the 4 singles from it. The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition came out 3 years ago. Frogstomp was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA and their next 2 studio albums went Gold.

You may be familiar with Seal's #1 hit song Kiss from a Rose. It was one of 4 singles from his second album to make the charts, and it was on the Batman Forever soundtrack. He also had 3 singles that charted on his first album. Here they are. Crazy is one of those songs I like to crank up loud when I'm driving. The Beginning is a dance song. Killer charted on the Billboard Hot 100 (barely) and Billboard Dance Club Songs.

You can never go wrong choosing to listen to Led Zeppelin. TAB's thread about going back to California made me think of this.

Weird Al just got another Grammy nomination. This one is “Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package” for Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic. It's a 15-album box set that looks like an accordion and hit #1 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums charts last year.

Weird Al guitarist Jim Kimo West's album Moku Maluhia – Peaceful Island was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Age Album. It's his 12th solo album. He plays Hawaiian slack key guitar and did a couple of Christmas albums too. I like a little slack key now and then, and it's about time for some Christmas music.
