Day 403 - Allman Brothers Band - Ramblin' Man

DAY 403
Allman Brothers Band - "Ramblin' Man"
From "Brothers and Sisters"




This is one of my favorite songs by the Allman Brothers Band. I heard it on the radio and caught myself just rocking out to it. It is a great classic rock song. I find myself really vibing on the classic rock genre nowadays...

As good as this song is it appears due to some stiff competition it only cracked the #2 spot on the Billboard Top 100 chart at the time.

You can click here to hear a pretty clear recording of the song.

And here is a cool and rare live performance of the song. Rumor has it the band did not tend to play this song live a whole lot due to the complexity of the song structure. It required them to be more precise. The band apparently was more enthusiastic about playing "off the cuff" and did not want to destroy this song. Interesting....

Day 402 - David Gray - You're The World To Me

DAY 402
David Gray - "You're The World To Me"
From "Greatest Hits"




I have heard this song a few times on the radio and everytime I hear it I think, "I NEED to put this song in my top 10,000" so today is the day!

This song reminds me of the great classic rock songs of the late '60's and early '70's. It just has a nice groove to it and has a more genuine and raw delivery.

I did a little research on David Gray, as I was not certain I was familiar with his other music. Turns out I am a lil more familiar than I thought. He is probably bets known for his song "Babylon" from his 4th album "White Ladder" which was released in 2001.

This song is just a feel good tune. My Favorite line is:

"You don't have to turn the sound up
Babe I want you from the ground up "

Sexy... ;)

Check out this YouTube clipe to hear this awesome song!! :)

Day 401 - Shakespear's Sister - I Don't Care

DAY 401
Shakespear's Sister - "I Don't Care"
From "Hormonally Yours"




So I was listening to this song the other night and remembered how much I love to sing it. The vocalists are so amazing. The lower vocals are so rich and enchanting and the higher vocals are so clear and pristine.

It is such a challenge to sing along with. If i warm my voice up enough i can hit the highest note in the song, but ONLY if I am warmed up otherwise forget it. :P

It also has one of the most fun and groovy bass lines ever!!!

Check out the song and video on this YouTube clip. It is awesome! This is some good early '90's music!

Day 400 - Billy Joel - You're My Home

DAY 400
Billy Joel - "You're My Home"
From "Piano Man"




I have been meaning to choose this song since July 28th and have just not felt like getting on here to type out why. I have heard this song many times, and it is a beautiful song. But it gained more meaning on July 28th because my husband recorded a version of it for me when I was having a sincerely crappy day at work because he wanted to cheer me up.

Now if that is not love I don't know what is...

Billy had written it for his 1st wife for their anniversary as he could not afford a gift. I think that is so sweet and romantic and far nicer than any material gift anyone could receive... (in my opinion. Give me a song or a flower any day over jewelry and stuff like that... :D)

So check out Billy's version here.

Check out my hubby's cover here if you like... I like.... :D
