On “Smoke in the Sky” Eric has put together a collection of Bluesy Hard Rock Tracks that showcases his powerful emotive vocals. He is also a great storyteller with his lyrics.
“I have never been shy about wearing my influences on my sleeve,” said Eric. “This was the vocal style I grew up listening to blasting out of every car window when I was growing up. I wanted to give that style of music some much needed attention and remembrance, while still trying to bring some new and more modern elements to the songs. The result is 11 tracks of bluesy hard rock that pays homage to the great rock singers of the 70′s while lending a fresh new edge to the style.”

At 62, John Mellencamp has spent his nearly 40-year career figuring out exactly where he fits in the American grain, and he’s never inhabited traditional folk and blues-imbued settings as personally as on his 22nd album. Singing with gruff directness, the recent divorcé deals with relationship struggles (the somber “Tears in Vain”), as well as broader societal and moral worry (the hard-driving “Lawless Times”). He recorded the album in Indiana with executive production by T Bone Burnett, who has brought his stripped-down approach to Mellencamp’s recent albums. “I don’t trust myself, I don’t trust you,” he intones darkly. It’s a lonely old night, as he used to sing, and a raw one.

Give the People What They Want is the fifth studio album by American soul and funk band Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.

Former Skid Row singer and Broadway artist Sebastian Bach has a new album out in the stores. It's Bach's third solo studio record and it was produced by Bob Marlette, who already worked with bands like Alice Cooper and Filter earlier. The musicians who have been supporting Bach on the album are well known names like Duff McKagan (b), Devin Bronson (g) and Bobby Jarzombek (d). With John 5 and Steve Stevens the singer could also get very experienced guest guitarists on board. So, good preconditions. "Give 'em hell" became a hardrock album with quite some modern metal elements. It reminds to the Skid Row release "Subhuman race" from 1995 and the question is, if this is needed or not. The album has really good songs, but also tunes I don't like at all. For me Bach's new release became interesting half way.

Дин был идолом советской молодежи и престарелых генсеков в джинсах, водолазке, с гитарой и американской улыбкой. За ним толпой ходили поклонники и скандировали: «Белла, чао!» На концертах девушки задаривали его конфетами, плюшевыми мишками и книгами.

Chronicle, Vol. 2 is a compilation album by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in November 1986 and then re-released on CD in 1991.

Основные темы альбома - религия, война, наркотики, отчужденность и одиночество. Но если в тексте «Hand Of Doom» (из альбома Paranoid) наркотики осуждались как социальное зло, то здесь «Sweet Leaf» - восторженный гимн марихуане. Две песни, имеющих отношение к Богу и религии - «After Forever» и «Lord of This World». «Children Of The Grave» продолжает антивоенную тему (начатую в «War Pigs»), а «Into The Void» (о переживших ядерную катастрофу людях, уносящихся на космических кораблях в космическую бездну прочь от опустошенной Земли) может считаться продолжением «Electric Funeral».
