Song of the Day:"Red Light"


I had this inspiration at the airport for my song of the day and it led to anything by Jonny Lang. I picked this song because it's great to sing to and it has some great guitar. But you should really check him out because he's pretty much eargasmic and amazing live. If you ever see that he has a show near you...go! He was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. You can tell that music consumes his soul and it just inspires you to go take music lessons in any instrument. Ohh I guess I should add that he is in the blues, jazz, alternative genres, but for all you hip-hop lovers just check him out because his music touches your heart with all the great harmonies, guitar riffs, and  heartful singing. 
You may recognize him because he was in one of the blues brothers movies way back in the 90s. I think it was the scene in the phone operating room or something like that and he was being moved across the floor while ripping it on his guitar.

James Morrison

I'm not talking about Jimi Morrison for all of you rock lovers, it's James Morrison. I first heard him in 2006 and fell in love with his bluesy voice. He's from the UK, so I don't think a lot of people know about him, but you could've hear his music in Starbucks here in the US. Since he's pretty bluesy his songs are kind of depressing, but they're so beautifully written and sung you can't help but listen and sing along. My personal favorites are "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore," "Better Man," "Wonderful World," and "How Come." Kind of a lot, but his raspy voice draws me in.
