New Alice in Chains, Check My Brain. Hell yeah!
Like they never skipped a beat, they seemed to have picked up where they left off with Staley after working through some initial not-so-good debut performances. Although, the musician in me can't help feeling sorry for Duvall, the new singer, as he has a lot to live up to being that his only job is to be a Staley clone. Then again, he knew what he was getting into when he signed up. That aside, the new song rocks pretty hard. Kudos that he plays rhythm guitar also.
I give it 4 hot groupies out of 5.
Did I ever mention I met Mike Inez (the bass player) whilst gigging in Big Bear with my former cover band? He lives up there and cruised into a show, bought me a shot of tequila and offered to call the Wilson sisters, who he was working with at the time, because I told him they were my idols. Jeez... what trip that night was. He turned up for our New Year's gig one year too. I think he left while we covered Man in the Box. I understand he hates that.

In The iPod Today...
The Urban Cowboy Sound track. Yeah, that's right. Got a problem with The Rocker listening to country? Well, what are you gonna do about it? Before you can blink I'll have you hog tied and whistling Dixie.
I highly recommend picking this up on iTunes. The movie was cool (yes, I saw it in the theaters when it came out, gasp!), and how could it not be when it stars John Travolta in his hay-day. Get it? Hay- day. Oh, never mind. The quality of the song writing by the various artists is just plain good on this LP (LP as in "long play" record for you young-ins, also known as a 33 for us crustaceans). Bottom line is if the song is good, it doesn't matter if it's hardcore, pop, metal, classical or disco. I love a variety of music, it just happens that rock is my thing. I never worry what anyone thinks of me if I am listening to something odd, or not hip, mostly because if you make fun of me, I might penetrate your temple with my switchblade stilettos.
It would do everyone some good to step outside their box to check out something new, (or old) particularly these days as we are all so plugged in and connected, but yet, oddly disconnected from things right on front of us. I write this as I am glued to the computer screen.... oh, irony.
