Storms Never Last - Phosphorescent |
"Storms never last do they babe
Bad times all pass with the wind"
Hello! Much like everyone I've found myself with more free time on my hands. And so I don't fully binge Narcos: Mexico Season 2 in one day I decided to restart this outlet. I had a music blog on and off from 9/2006 till 4/2012. Wow where did the time go? When I started that blog I was in a transitional time in my life and the blog was a way to express myself while sharing one of my favorite things in the world, music! Although music plays an important factor in my daily life it always seems more powerful in times of need.
So things have changed a bit since I last did this. First I wasn't able to sign into my old blog and edit that hence this new format. However, that blog still exits so feel free to see what I was up to back then. The song links have all expired but the good news is music is way easier to stream now. I use to upload the mp3's and users were able to download the tracks. Well now all you have to do is pull up your handy streaming service and find the song i'm writing about.(plus i suppose it's more legal that way) I'll try to post the you tube video when possible. I'll mess around with a few cosmetic things as I get comfortable with this but hopefully you'll enjoy the content and hear something new.
Okay so first up is a song written by Jessi Colter and first performed by her and her husband Walyon Jennings. For obvious reasons this song popped in my end when thinking about how to start off this blog. While I enjoy the original version I'd like to recommend the cover sung by Phosphorescent. This can be found on the Deluxe version of the great 2013 album Muchacho. The deluxe version features a live stripped down piano/acoustic guitar concert from London's St. Pancras Church. You can find the amazon digital album here. I was recommended this album by a trusted like minded (at least when it comes to music) old friend of mine back in 2014.(Track #2 "Song for Zula" is my fav) I still have more exploring to do with his music but I quite enjoy this album and his Willie Nelson cover album, "To Willie" (Willie is an all-time favorite for me so I'm sure he'll pop up here soon) Alright that's it for now. I'll keep posting when the mood is right.
Oh yeah if you'd like to check out the original blog see the below link...Stay well everyone - Chris
