Life, Love, and Liberty

You might be tired of hearing about pain, death, and evil by now. And if you’re not, then there’s no need to worry. I’ll have plenty to say on those topics in the future.

In the meantime, you should go listen to the sweet sounds of The Jackson Five. My favorite song is “I Want You Back”.

It inspires me to want to take singing lessons!

I’ve noticed that its slipped my mind to include songs of the week in my last seven digests.

The good news is that this provides me with a chance to list seven choice tunes in one post

I’ve recently become quite a fan of the band Journey, after listening to their song called Don’t Stop Believin’. They also do a dynamite performance in:

Open Arms

When You Love A Woman

Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’

It’s possible to view all of these tunes in video form on YouTube.

My other recent musical addiction is The Weather Girls. My love of this duo started off with a Maryland trip listen to It’s Raining Men. This led me to purchase an entire album titled The Weather Girls: Super Hits , and I was thus introduced to these great tunes:

- Dear Santa

- Well-A-Wiggy

I was not able to locate any sites that had lyrics for the last two songs.

Blues Singer’s Woman Permitted To Tell Her Side

CLARKSDALE, MS-Ida Mae Dobbs, longtime woman of Willie “Skipbone” Jackson, called a press conference Tuesday to respond to charges levied against her by the legendary Delta blues singer.

When it comes to 80’s pop music, I am not the most well listened fellow but I can’t get enough of the Fine Young Cannibals. The catchy pop beat they put out has me hooked but some specific songs really make me groove. Having only sampled the The Raw & the Cooked, I can’t speak from experience with their entire catalogue but it’s definitely enough for a tribute.

-She Drives Me Crazy

-Good Thing

-I ‘m Not Satisfied

-Tell Me What

-As Hard As It Is

Very good tunes to groove too!

Pop music phenomenon Michelle Branch has been providing me with some good sounds to listen too lately.

-Everywhere

-All You Wanted

Look up The Spirit Room if your interested.

Ex-Beatles star Paul McCartney isn’t someone I’ve had a lot of exposure too but I recently caught wind of an excellent song from this fellow. It’s called Maybe, I’m Amazed and has me addicted. Be sure to give it a chance by checking out the album McCartney.

Today I continue the trend of promoting musicians who’d yet to make an appearance on the blog with Jimmy Buffett under the spotlight.

-School Boy Heart

-Margaritaville

Check out the above and more on Meet Me in Margaritaville:The Ultimate Collection.

The New Jersey based rock star Bruce Springsteen makes his first appearance with Pink Cadillac. This tune was released on Born in the U.S.A. [Single] and audio clips in abundance can be found here.
