I haven't seen Black Snake Moan, but my friend Aaron said last night it reminded him of Memphis... I think it was the music.
The White Stripes? Ugh. More for you I guess...
Have you listened much to Amos Lee? I haven't picked up his second album but I really like the first one. I'm looking forward to the new Fuel CD to hit in August, even if they do have a new lead singer. What I have heard of the new songs I still like it.
Black Snake Moan is a fantastic movie. It's a little "out there," but very good. It does have a Memphis, deep South feel, mainly due to the music. There's a scene with Sammy playing a guitar duing a thunderstorm which is just a-maze-ing!
I've never heard of Amos Lee? What type of music is it?
There are CD's I'm looking forwrd to...Yellowcard, 12 Stones...but I'm really having a hard time remembering what other ones I had on my radar. Oh well.
Almost any CD is on your radar that is why it's hard to remember them all.
Amos Lee... hmm... Rhapsody calls him Folk Pop, I would says Bluesy Folk. I want to get a Lebanese singer named Nancy Ajram. She isn't on Rhapsody... bastards. I heard her last night at the Red Poppy in Iowa City (a hookah and tea bar). I also really like the Balkan Beat Box, but I have yet to pick up their sophomore album.
You've got some eclectic taste. Still, that's not a bad thing. It's great. It lets me know of bands and singers I'd never come across.
