Jakob Dylan Seeing Things
The Long awaited CD from Jakob Dylan hit the shelves June 1oth and we got our copy yesterday. I'm not really sure how Bob will take it when I tell you that Jakob's voice is a perfect blend of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but that's how it sounds to me.I heard the first cut on Starbucks 45 (on your XM dial) this morning. We listened to Evil is Alive and Well. The next track I think will be popular is Everybody Pays. It's a great price at Target right now, 9.99$ which I think is unbeatable for a new release. I heard Jakob's music for the first time in a Bruckheimer production. Until that day, it never occurred to me that Bob had a guitar playing son. (Evidently that rock I was living under was very big...) I think I kept attributing his voice to someone else. I'm happy to discover that he has more music out there for me to listen to.
Currently the album track I'm listening to--Will It Grow is another new favorite of mine. He could very well be my most favorite recent artist since Josh Turner two years ago. If you like guitar folk music you will not be 
disappointed. Check it out soon!
disappointed. Check it out soon!Flying Over Memory Lane with the Eagles
I can't say enough about the Eagles recent album, Long Road Out of Eden. Aside from the fabulous price, $11.99, it contained two discs.
I enjoyed hearing the long absent voice of Joe Walsh (sounding just as fresh as when life was go
od to him before) and some new guitar riffs that hearkened back to Hotel California.
Their catchy tunes and thought-provoking lyrics
reminded me of all the reasons I liked them so much to begin with.
Many of us have heard artists who recorded past their prime and no doubt been a little disheartened.
Would this now two -decades-older band play as great , sound the same, on this reunion CD as we all remembered?
I'm happy to report, they didn't disappoint. The Eagles inimitable group sound remains as strong as ever. The quality of their voices will take you back to the good old days. Almost like they'd been put on pause instead of taking off in five different directions. The title track will probably become a new classic for this amazing band.
If you get out to Walmart, pick up a copy. You won't find it anywhere else.
