Daniel Alvarez - On The Path To Awakening

Daniel is a great guitarist (he taught the author of this blog how to play guitar) and this is his first CD. His music could be considered sort of a cross between rock and jazz and I can say that his music would be enjoyed by anyone who likes either of these two genres. Daniel is a great guy and an even better musician so I really highly recommend anyone to check out his music. And if you enjoy his music that I am posting here support him and buy his CD at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/danielalvarez

The 101'ers - Smokey Joe's Cafe

I've been a fan of Joe Strummer and The Clash since I was about 13. For about the same length of time I've been a fan of his first band The 101'ers however until very recently did I come to find out that this album (Smokey Joe's Cafe) existed. For anyone who has heard Elgin Avenue Breakdown (101'ers first album) then you will already be familiar with the music style on here. However for those who have never heard this band before it is a great mix of classic rock and roll with rockabilly and really is just great music worth checking out.

Nirvana (60's) - All Of Us

Unknown to many there was a band in 1960's UK named Nirvana way before, Kurt Cobain and his group came along and stole the name of the (in my opinion) much better 1960's group. Though Nirvana had a very unique rock style they only achieved limited commercial success and never became as famous as some other British bands to come out of the 60's, their music is still definitely worth checking out. And unlike the 90's US group of the same name which made depression and frustration and the such "cool" the original Nirvana tried to inspire a positive feeling and to look at all the good things in life. Which at least in my book already puts them miles ahead of the 90's group that most people have heard of.
