My Kinda Sound


So, who out there saw any of last season's American Idol? And who also thought that Chris Daughtry was quite the rocker? I must admit that I gravitate to rocker types as that is the music I love. I was bummed when he got the boot, but has he ever proven people wrong! Last night I was listening to the radio and heard a song for the first time that automatically caught my attention. As luck would have it I never got to hear the artist's name (but I could've sworn it sounded eerily like Chris Daughtry's voice). Well, Lady Luck was smiling on me because I heard it again tonight and decided that the title must be "It's Not Over" after hearing the chorus. I came home and did a search on Google and lo and behold, the song is by a group called....Daughtry! Guess who the lead singer is...Yup, my ears did not deceive me. I should've known that there would not be anyone else with that distinct vibrato while singing in the rock world. I must say that this first release has made an impression on me. I hope that the rest of the band's music is as good as this song promises. To think that the group Fuel (another of my favorites) had approached Chris to front the band and he actually decided to venture out on his own. That could've been really dumb, but turned out to be pretty gutsy on his part. Quick sidenote: my favorite song by Fuel, which I can listen to over and over again is "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)"...kinda like the Daughtry song...If you get a chance, give it a listen and let me know what you think...I am always looking for new rock music...
