For my second free week(yes,Sade's,'Soldier Of Love',is still topping the charts),I chose a 'free' cd.The album is a compilation cd by Sister Hazel called,'20 In 10 Collection'.
The twenty songs come from 4 of Sister Hazel's most recent albums.
To be truthful,the only thing that I knew about Sister Hazel was the catchy top 40 song,'All For You'.
What I found was my own personal bar band.Sister Hazel has that genuine quality that makes you believe that they are a bunch of guys just playing that good old rock and roll.No glam or post production tweaks.
This is almost country music without the hokeiness..without the stereotypical fake twang and limited song options.
Yet,it isn't.The very things that makes most modern country music so limited and repetitively boring are absent from the Georgia breed Sister Hazel.
They have a party vibe to them that dispels all inkling of the weekday.Be it,'Mandolin Moon';Mona Lisa';'What Kind Of Living',or any other song on this 20 song free download,you are lifting your beer,tapping your feet and happily getting out on the dance floor.
To listen to this hidden treasure(did I tell you this is a free download!)is happiness.
Not techno grooving,not heavy metal thrashing,not R&B/rap-hip hopping(all good things in their own time and place),but barhopping,beer sipping,enjoying yourself,being with friends,bottle clinking,everyone's laughing,snacking on appetizers having a good time rock and roll.
Not much more needs to be said.
