Despite country's southern roots, there remains a dearth of black artists. Darius Rucker dipped his toes in those muddy water in the past, but alas, Lionel Richie's new country album doesn't wade in much deeper. Lionel Richie's new release, Tuskegee, might come as a surprise to the casual observer, one who believes that the former Commodore, the man who once proclaimed that he couldn't slow down, who extolled the virtues of being easy, who was once tagged as the black Barry Manilow, has gone country. Of course, he hasn't really gone anywhere. It's appropriate that the album is named [...]

When I was about 17 or so, I used to think New Year's Eve was when all the females in the world lost their minds and handed out kisses at midnight in one special five minute period that didn't exist the rest of the year. It was Sadie Hawkins Day baby! Little did I know the mythical Sadie Hawkins was a cartoon character from the Li'l Abner comic strip. A cartoonist named Al Capp (shouldn't he have written Andy Capp? Oh, that was Jerry Bittle? Fiddlesticks...) conjured up a 35 year old spinster (Spinster - an old maid, an older [...]
LastFM Black Country Communion (originally Black Country) is a band with both American and British rock influences.

Uno de los que mencionamos hace ya unos meses fue el que Glenn Hughes formó junto al guitarrista Joe Bonamassa , al baterista Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin) y al teclista Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater o Alice Cooper). En un principio el grupo se iba a llamar Black Country, pero debido a que existía uno con el mismo nombre en Baltimore (Maryland, Estados Unidos) que pedía medio millón de dólares por la compra del nombre, Hughes decidió añadirle al final "Communion" [...]
