Don't steal music! This is music for my friends to check out so we can all be on the same page. Borrow these tunes, listen a dozen-ish times... then decide if you should buy it or delete it. xoxo

Keif's LIFE

I am currently reading Keith Richards' autobiography, LIFE. As with most rocker bios, i have gotten much more into the main character's discography than ever before. Sure, i have owned Hot Rocks for ten years, and i enjoy listening to their late-60s / early-70s discography with my father-in-law... but i don't think i ever appreciated them. I grew up in the 80s, and by then, the Stones were just the epitome of rock n roll excess and nothing more.

But these guys used to ROCK and write really good tunes. Excellent chord changes, interesting rhythmic phrasing and the occasional brilliant lyric. "The sunlight bores the daylights outta me." - beat that line, dude!

Check out three of my new, lesser-known faves:

"Rocks Off" - Exile on Main Street



"Can't You Here Me Knockin'" - Sticky Fingers




"Monkey Man' - Let It Bleed
