Gary Numan - Dead Sun Rising

This is as early as it gets when it comes to rock music. This is the foundation that built rock music to what it is today. This just makes me think about what rock music was in the 50's and what it is today. Everything we listen to in terms of rock we owe to 50's rock 'n roll. There are more artists, but I thought Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley both did great justice to this form of rock. There was no such thing as rock or rock 'n roll before these people. They really put it on the map.

I'm not going to lie, even though this music had a great impact on rock music for the future generations, it is not my favorite rock. I'm not disrespecting it, I'm just saying that it doesn't do it for me. When I listen to rock music, I need a certain intensity and energy that 50's rock 'n roll just doesn't deliver to my ears. This music was huge in the 50's. In fact, I believe that rock 'n roll was more popular to it's 50's audience than rock music to today's audience.

Ian Brown - Home Is Where The Heart Is

Talking to artists about how they had adjusted to the pandemic yielded information that normally doesn’t come up during artist interviews. While some musicians lost their main source of income, others were able to continue with their regular day jobs that, given the generally low pay for gigs, often allowed them to be active in the blues. Others were forced to turn to webcasting. In Clarksdale, Lucious Spiller was one of the first to do these shows and was likely the most active, for a year he played every Wednesday night, on Thursday afternoons, a time amenable to Europeans, and on most Saturdays, about as often as he normally performed. Aside from a fall off after the first weeks, support for the gigs, which was almost enough to pay the bills, remained steady until things began to open up in May of 2021. About five years ago, Clarksdale reached the milestone of live music seven days a week, 365 days a year, but that ended abruptly... The contemporary Southern soul market is largely s...
