my current CD listening

Here's some of the music I've been listening to alot lately. My music tastes are all over the place, so don't expect just a certain genre.

Little Big Town - The Road to Here
I think of Little Big Town as "country meets the Mommas and the Poppas." Lots of good vocal harmonies throughout the CD. My favorite song from this CD is "Bring it on Home."

Alice In Chains - Dirt
Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies
Some of the best '90s grunge rock. Kinda depressing and introspective. For the most part not a super fast rock band. "Nutshell" really grabs me. Check out this cover by Staind.


Jonny Lang - Lie to Me
I still can't believe Jonny was in his mid-teens when he recorded this CD. He has a great voice and can play that Telecaster guitar pretty good too. A fun CD.

The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo
This album, released in 1968(?) marked The Byrds transformation into a country-rock music band. It has some very classic/basic country guitar work that featured a B-bender guitar. A B-bender guitar can mimic some licks/sounds of the pedal steel, which is a staple of alot of country music. The songs start to all feel the same on this CD, but it is essential listening for learning some basic country guitar work.

Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
It's been a long time since I listened to this CD. You know what? I really like it. Very catchy melodies and some nice guitar. I love that creamy smooth guitar intro to "Champagne Supernova" (I think they used Vox AC30 amps). To me their sound is pop-rock. I think it still holds up today, unlike some music from the '90s.
