So in an earlier post on Robert Johnson i made mention of the forever 27, well this is what i am talking about. Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmie Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain all died at the age of 27. Just thing of what else they might have accomplished if they had not met their untimely deaths. This is a poster i do own a copy of myself when i saw it i had to have it. On the back of mine it has a piece of paper that tell 27 referances to one of the 4 artist in the poster see if you can find them and i will post all the answers at a later date. I still stand behind my earlier comment that Robert Johnson should have been  included.

…….ONLY 27 YRS. OLD AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH  (ANYONE FAMILAR WITH THE FOREVER 27 POSTER, I WONDER WHY HE WASN’T INCLUDED.)

RATED 5TH ON ROLLING STONES 100 GREATEST GUITARIST’S OF ALL TIME.

AS LEGEND WOULD SAY:

WITH THE GREAT DESIRE TO BE A GREAT BLUES ARTIST, ROBERT JOHNSON TOOK HIS GUITAR TO THE CROSSROADS AT MIDNIGHT. THERE HE MET A LARGE BLACK MAN (THE DEVIL) WHO TOOK THE GUITAR FROM JOHNSON AND TUNED IT IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL. GIVING JOHNSON THE ABILITY TO SING, PLAY, AND CREATE GREAT BLUES MUSIC FOR ALL TO HEAR

 THOUGH NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PROVEN BY ANY MEANS, MANY WONDERED IF IT WAS REALLY A JOKE. EITHER WAY HIS MUSIC WAS IN FACT LEGENDARY.

FOR A LIST OF ALL OF HIS SONGS:

                                    I WAS SITTING LISTENING TO BOB DYLANS SONG “BLOWING IN THE WIND”, AND THOUGHT HOW IS THAT I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE MAN. HE IS MY FAVORITE WRITER AND YET I HAVE NOT PUT A THING UP ABOUT HIM HERE ON MUSIBLOG. I WILL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET BUT GIVE A COUPLE LINKS FOR THOSE INTERESTED TO CHECK IT OUT FURTHER.

  IF ANYONE IS FAMILAR WITH MR. DYLAN THEN YOU SHOULD BE FAMILAR WITH HIS SONGS BUT APON CHECKING HIS SITE AWHILE BACK I STILL FOUND A COUPLE THAT I THOUGHT WERE OTHER PEOPLES, BUT TURNS OUT HE WROTE THEM AND SOMEONE ELSE COVERED THEM AND MADE THEM POPULAR. SO HERE IS A SITE ALL ABOUT HIS SONGS COVERED.

http://www.bjorner.com/Covers.htm

WELL IN SHORT I FEEL THAT THE SONGS THIS MAN WROTE ARE NOT ONLY INSPIRING BUT REAL TO LIFE IN A LOT OF WAYS. EVEN IF  HIS VOICE CAN AT TIMES GET A LITTLE HARD TO HARDLE. I BELIEVE TWO THUMBS UP AND HATS OFF TO BOB FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MUSIC HE HAS GIVEN US OVER THE YEARS!!!!!

I think everybody has taken a leap from time to time, from writing a poem, next thing you know it rhymes and starts to sound like rap song.  So why not take a shot at writing some lyrics and sharing them with the world? So you think you got the rap lyrics game all sown up?  Take a shot at the Rap Battle Lyrics and duke it out with others on the site.

Not that we hate AOL but it is few and far between times that we have something good to say about them.  And well, I guess this is one of those times.  AOL’s new “Full CD Listening Party” section of there site is rather cool.  They post the newest albums from the pop charts and you can stream the full album for free.

Unlike Amazon and others, you can hear the full tracks here, not just a 30 second clip.  So take a second to get to know the good site of AOL and listen for free.

So sorry AOL you are worth having on the internet after all, we all appriciate the free music you offer!

John Mayer if a very well known Pop singer and songwriter, but what about the blues?  Many people write John Mayer off because his lovey dovey pop singles that most are familiar with that are on MTV and usually tearing up the Pop charts.  However I can tell you this guy really is a great guitar player and should not be taken so lightly. I have seen his performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroad’s Festival and he is an amazing blues man when he wants to be.

I just saw this side of him not too long ago and have been blown away ever since.  It just goes to show you that sometimes you do have to play a certain type of music to get well known.  Then you can branch out or bring it back to the roots of your own music and this is where it’s at.

Here is a video of some of John’s blues, Enjoy!

David Archuleta, from recent American Idol competition, and should have been  winner, if you ask me, has finally released his debut album and single called Crush. You can watch the “Crush” music video here.  This 17 year old’s music career just shifted info overdrive.  Just a short break after coming in second on American Idol, and now he is on to his recording studio days.  We can’t wait to see what this kid comes up with, we love his voice and music in general.

17 year old Archuleta has found his niche in music and won’t let go, we here at MusiBlog are exited to see him start a solo career and can’t wait to see where it takes him.  We loved this youngsters rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” that we think he is going to the stars.  We’re just not sure how he will get there, yet.

For more on Archuleta visit youtube, there are many videos of his performances on American Idol and some other home videos available there as well.

You can download tracks of David Archuleta, here.
