Friday New Releases – January 6th, 2017

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic5 Comments

Welcome to the first Friday of new releases for 2017.  This first week doesn’t have too many as it is still to close to Christmas.  The releases start picking up next week, but there are a few this week.  The only one I will run out and grab right away is highlighted in Blue.

  • 170x170bb-13  Halestorm – ReAniMate 3.0: The CoVeRs E.P. – (Atlantic Records):  The 3rd volume of the Reanimate covers E.P. is here. Halestorm has been awesome in releasing these little E.P.s which contain covers of various songs.  They are usually as good or even better than the originals.  They have a great way of making them their own.  I don’t expect anything less from this one.
    • Track Listing:
      • Still of the Night
      • Damn, I Wish I was Your Lover
      • I Hate Myself For Loving You
      • Heathens
      • Fell on Black Days
      • Ride the Lightning

Turntables & Vinyl #5 – The Needtobreathe Collection

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic6 Comments

For Christmas, I really only wanted one thing…well, it was actually 6 things.  I wanted the entire Needtobreathe album collection in Vinyl.  They have 6 studio albums and I am glad to say, Santa was good to me as I now have all their studio albums in Vinyl.  And what a collection it is.

I became a fan back off their first album “Daylight” which came out in 2006.  They have been labeled a Christian band, but they are really so much more than that label.  They are folk, southern rock, country, pop, rock and Christian all at the same time.  Their songwriting is exceptional with great stories and positive messages.  Bear Rinehart’s voice is amazing and carries so much emotion and he draws you into each song and takes you on a wonderful journey.

The band consists of the following:

  • Bear Rinehart – lead vocals
  • Bo Rinehart – lead guitar
  • Seth Bolt – bass
  • Josh Lovelace – keyboards/organ

Concerts, Concerts, Concerts – The 2000’s

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic10 Comments

Now were on to the final post in the Concerts, Concerts, Concerts series.  We have revisited The 80’s and The 90’s.  It is time to see what shows I have been to in this century. So, no more waiting, here are the shows.

The 2000’s

The 2000’s started out slow.  I don’t have my first ticket stub until February 13, 2003.  My wife was pregnant with our first child so my oldest daughter’s first concert technically.  The concert was for Bon Jovi.  The opening act was the Goo Goo Dolls, but we didn’t get to see them because Philips Arena (formerly the Omni but completely new building) implemented metal detectors.  The line was so long to go through those that we missed the opening act even though we arrived in plenty of time.  I was pissed.  Ticket price was $57 plus $6.50 in fees (robbery).  Bon Jovi was awesome and played a really long time. They were touring for the album Bounce.

My Sunday Song – “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic9 Comments

Happy New Year!!  Welcome to My Sunday Song for 2017.  For the first set of 10 songs over the next 10 weeks, my wife is taking over the series.  She will be picking her favorite songs and let us know why she likes them and why they might be special to her.  The picture for this series was also taken by my lovely wife on a trip she took to Michigan with her parents a couple months back.

Her first song choice for My Sunday Song is “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain.  We both love this song and we love it so much that it was played at our wedding.  We are celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary in 2017.  She felt this would be a great song to start off this next series as it was played for the start of our marriage and should be the start of her 10 songs that is starting off the new year.

We hope you enjoy the song and we hope you have a safe and prosperous New Year!!
