Got home from work today and Youtube flashed me a quick reminder that I needed to re-watch this video, so I clicked it and suddenly remembered that this would be an awesome start to a trip....

Scorpion Child is awesome! These young guys know and understand the meaning of rock-n-roll in a way that few young bands do today. They have a very distinctive 70s throwback sound without just sounding like a 70s band. The singers voice is completely mesmerizing. I saw them about 2 years ago and they were all really nice chaps to boot. I recommend this album for anyone that claims to like rock and roll.
Click 2 - Sweet Mountain River - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHrRPLHRgDA
Youtube is on FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song is so amazing and I was so excited when I saw it in the recommended list. I didn't know a video for this song existed, much less with a young lady that can wear a dress like that!!!!!! I stumbled across these guys a couple of years ago, when Amazon kept placing their albums in my recommendation list (another favorite way to find new bands). I finally took a flyer and tried an album. Yes, they have a fairly solid 70s sound but rather than being on the heavy side its more southern 70s. I like that!
Click 3 - It Aint Right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cubsde0kYbw
Two thoughts; thanks to YouTube for introducing me to another new bad!!!!!!!! and two, Amen!!!! Watch the video, you will understand!!!!
Click 4 - Nobody Said It Was Easy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcveGZv799w
Well, I selected this one because I am not familiar with the band. Turns out that I missed something in the 80s (that's a shocker considering the 80s)! This is pretty good, not great. Looked them up and wikipedia claims them to be a "blues rock band" (hah), whatever, it sounds good enough and introduces me to something new.
Click 5 - 7 Oclock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNFRQ9Lblz4
WOW!!!!! This is an awesome trip. The London Quireboys!!!!!!! I love this song. Its always been one of those songs (and bands) that I turn to when I ain't exactly happy but I really want to be!!! You know those moments when the "funk" creeps in but you really want to kick it out and you just need a little motivation. They never really made it BIG, but they have had a pretty good career and some great albums. If you are not familiar with them, dig a little deeper. Its very much like a modern (80-90s) Rolling Stones type groove.
Click 6 - Talk Dirty to Me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCChxBSRo1Y
Lets end this one with a little fun...... reminds me of my youth when moms thought I was a nice boy too!!!! Pure 80s hair metal and skirt chasing fun here. Funny looking at this today, I wanted to look like and be like these guys when I was 16 (is it a man or a woman??????????) I guess that was the 80s! I cant remember how many times I have seen these guys live but each time has been fun. This is simple hair metal, grab the girl beside you rock and roll.
You know, I needed a fun trip and Youtube has provided that to me today. I hope you enjoyed it too.
