One of the main motivators for making this blog happen was a drive to discover and recommend new music.
"They don't write songs like they used to."
"I'll only ever listen to Classic Rock."
"Nobody makes any good music anymore."
I reject all those thoughts. I've always known that there was great music being made in the here and now, regardless of whenever that "here" and "now" was.
I will admit that it is so very easy to slip into a pattern of only listening to music that you are familiar with, that you grew up with. 80's forever, or whatever. But there was a time when all that music was new to you, too, right?
Putting on Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan is like putting on a warm, comfy and well worn sweater. Feels good. But someone, somewhere out there someone is knitting a brand new sweater, a bitchin' sweater.
Tedeschi Trucks knits bitchin' sweaters. And makes great albums. I swear I haven't heard of them until someone just this week suggested them and I fell in love at first listen.
They are very, very cool.
