"Go Go Boots"
Drive-By Truckers
Musical Style: Alternative Country
Drive-By Truckers has been active for over 15 years and they released their 11th album in February. The album was released on ATO Records and marks the eighth album produced by David Barbe. The album has a soulful quality to it, but the souls presented in some of the songs aren't really interesting.
We start out with the song "I Do Believe" that has a nice flow to it and guides us through a child-like story of unconditional love. Then we get the title track that has a slow guitar entrance and mournful pacing that is enticing. Here is a quick video explaining some aspects of the album:
If you haven't already, you should check out more of the Go-Go Boots episodes that tell about the inspiration behind the album and some of the interesting stories behind the band. It gives you insight into a soulful band that has been around for a long time and is exploring new music. This album contains two covers by Eddie Hinton in "Where's Eddie" and "Everybody Needs Love" and both are really good, especially "Everybody Needs Love."
There are also other good songs like "Assholes" and you can't help but stomp your feet to songs "The Weakest Man" and "Pulaski." I will say that the last half of the album is probably the strongest. Some songs are pretty interesting, but a couple of them feel pretty underwhelming and dull at points.
Overall
This is a strong effort by Drive-By Truckers to create something that is yearning and deep, but sometimes I feel like energy is sacrificed in an effort to manufacture "soul." The album has its strong points and if you are fan of the band you will no doubt like it. I especially like the cover of "Everybody Needs Love" and most of the second half of the album. It's a strong effort by the band, but sometimes I couldn't connect with some of the music. I think the album has both strong and weak points, but it is something you should give a chance.

Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!

Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...

Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.

So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...

This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
