Fell in Love with the Avett Brothers

Riding home with a friend, you end up hearing new songs on the radio if they happen to like a different radio station than what you listen to in your own car. This friend had Sirius Radio and a station I’ve never heard before, that played in the background while we rode together.

The song that caught my ear was called, “Winter in My Heart” by a group called the Avett Brothers. It’s a simple little song, not complicated musically, but it was very touching. I think that is the hallmark of a great song – bringing forth an emotion with lyrics that touch your soul.

Big and Rich Surprised Me

Not a big fan of country music lately. So much of it sound exactly the same and it is boring. How many times can you sing about beer and pickup trucks?

The group, Big and Rich is probably more accurately described as a duo but I don’t know and don’t care enough to look it up. But they do have a couple of good songs. I was surprised when I heard the song called “Faster Than Angels Fly” to find out that it was a Big and Rich song. So they got a little more respect from me tonight because I do like that song and its not the same typical bland country song.
