With all due respect to the country artists whose music was played, I found the lyrics to be shallow and boring. And these are nationally-known singers! Nonetheless, I had a great workout.
But what about the local bands? I'm here to tell you, no matter what state you live in, you will find an unlimited amount of talent. You just have to go out and see it for yourself.
I will choose the state of Kentucky.
In this Bluegrass State is a wonderful, talented, hard-working rock band called Blind Peace (Tony Sell, lead vocals; J W Gregory, guitar; Eric Manos, drums; and Derek Lester, bass).
They have been around for a few years. I'm taking this moment to tell you what my ears have been graced with and you have been missing out on. In addition to the great, soulful, dirty-bluesy songs they have written, the the best of which are "Rebel Son" and "999".
And as of last week, they have new and even better music.
Click on these links to hear even deeper and more soulful lyrics. I promise you, no matter who you are or where you're from, you will love it. What you will love is the effortless balance of good ol' rock and roll and lyrics that you don't have to censor for your children. So, go ahead and crank up this music while driving them to school or their many extracurricular activities.
"Backwoods"
"The Devil That You Know"
Lastly, please check out this video of "Backwoods." You will get the best of both worlds: great music and a live performance.

If you're going to be in the Kentucky area, and you like this music, make plans to go see them.
