January 12, 2015--Shinedown "Call Me"

Artist:  Shinedown
Song:  Call Me
Album:  The Sound of Madness

I have a question.  Did you actually watch that video or did you just scroll past?  If you answered the latter then I suggest you go back and watch the damn video.  It's worth it.  That guy singing, his name is Brent Smith and he has the voice of a god.  He and Barry Kerch are the only 2 remaining original members of the Shinedown that formed in 2001.  Now, even though some of the original guys have changed that doesn't mean that Zach Myers and Eric Bass aren't happy additions.

By the way, some people say that this is blasphemy, but I prefer Shinedown's version of "Simple Man" to Lynyrd Skynyrd's.  Don't judge me until you listen to it, because I guarantee you'll change your tune.  If you're into rock music then you probably already know these guys.  In which case you can agree with me. They. Are. Awesome.

My mom is probably one of their biggest fans I have ever met.

Oh, don't think she didn't meet Brent too. (pictured above)

Barry Kerch and Mom

Oh, there's more, too.  She's got 5 tattoos that were inspired by songs by the band.

Yeah, my momma is hardcore awesome.  And so is Shinedown.  So go look them up on iTunes or Amazon music or YouTube, even.  Go.  Now.  Jam on.
