We’re just out looking for a bit of fun with a southern rock flavour. While not all these bands are from the southern States, their sound is in the same vein. I wanted to give a little exposure to some lesser known bands so the obvious Big Kids (Lynyrd Skynyrd, …
Each year a wide variety of music is released, arguably with some years better than others. It’s interesting to look back and see what was released when. And memory being what it is, I’m occasionally surprised to be reminded of a song’s release date. I thought I’d look at 1984. …
