Chrys Recommends for December 2006

[Christy The Admin]

This is just going to be a little thing I do every month or more when I have time, where I pick out something cool and give it a little review. I want to in order to point out some things I think deserve more mention and, since this is Off Topic, you can ignore my recommendations just by ignoring the threads. If you like it though, feel free to drop in whenever I do one.

December, 2006 - Susan Marshall is Honey Mouth by Susan Marshall
Buy It!

If you don't know who Susan Marshall is and you like bluesy rock, you should get to know her. She has one of the best voices in music today (or yesterday).

You may somewhat know her as a background singer for the Afghan Whigs, Lynyrd Skynyrd and over a dozen more, but I first came across her as the lead singer for The Mother Station. Their only album, Brand New Bag, was as close to ridiculously awesome as a blues-rock album can get (and that's pretty d*** awesome). "Stranger To My Soul" may be the greatest song ever written in my opinion.

In 2002, Marshall put out Susan Marshall Is Honey Mouth, which isn't as hard rock as parts of Brand New Bag, but is full of well-written songs that showcase her great voice. Highlights are "Eyes of Love," "Love Me Again," "These Things," "Black Sea Blues," "I Don't Have To Crawl" and "Nightime," but every song has some serious positives. It goes from gentle, smoky ballads to upbeat bluesy tunes with a seriously addictive nature.

If you like blues and some folk, or to be more direct, if you liked Nancy Wilson's Live at McCabe's or The Mother Station, you will at least like, if not love, this cd. It's on iTunes as well, so check it out.

wouldn't let me for some reason, I appologize as this is not about
your post however I sure do thank-you for the info and will be
checking out your recomendation for sure.
However I noticed you are a huge fan of wrestling and was very
curious as I used to know several on a personal level, I had dinner with the late Andre the Giant several times infact it was in LA I speak fluent french and he was thrilled someone spoke his native tongue so he invited me several times, I also know Rowdy
and wondered if you follow his career at all, sorry to tell you this but he has recentlly been diagnosed with the same disease as my husband he has leukemia, but hey now it is beatable especially for someone who is in his shape, please forgive me for
posting this here Chris I didn't know where else to go to try to talk to you, as I also was wondering if you know if by chance there is going to be a sale from the Tribute that you all did for Sandy, I do so hope so, I know I am not alone on this but please if there is would you let me know also if you ever want to talk about wrestling I for sure am game on that one too lol, I have met many of them they are a hoot to party with especiallly if they
think they can get you going by brawling in your appt lol.. well you take good care of you and I also wanted to take this chance to say you are one heck of a nice person, every post I have ever read of yours is so heart warming you are a super fine person and I just wanted to thank-you for that, hope you had a super fine Holiday!!! All the best to you and your's!

You would be correct, I'm the resident wrestling freak here. If you want to talk wrestling feel free to post a new topic on it and I'll jump in when I can.

As far as the footage from the tribute I'll have to pass that over to Hawkeye when she has a moment to pop in. She's actually in LA and much closer to the action than this Arkansas girl. Especially when most of my day involves running around, work and house renovations!

Thanks for the kind words too, I always like those. To say I've learned the last couple years to try to make the very best of what I've got would be an understatement, and I hope you and yours are having good times! Spread it around when you can, every little bit of positive energy is good, and you never know when you might accidentally make someone smile.
