I grew up on musicals, classical music, rock, pop and more -- as a young adult I fell in love with electronic music, new wave alternative music and even some punk. I have REALLY wide-ranging taste in music and love all kinds of blends. Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite songs...and then I like Duran Duran and Erasure. I can measure periods of my life by the soundtrack in my mind. For example, I still can't listen to Roxy Music's "Avalon" without feeling sad because it was meaningful song between me and my ex-fiance. That was so many years ago, but still evokes emotion. I love great vocalists and have loved K.D. Lang, Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson and lots of other fabulous females as well. Having said all that, I have a special place in my heart for interesting music that mixes genres, and one of my favorite bands that does this is Alabama 3.
Most people know Alabama 3 (or A3) from the tv show The Sopranos, as their song "Woke Up This Morning" was the theme song. They are a British band that mix blues, rock, funk, country, acid house, electronica and more They have a pretty singular sound and their music has some pretty fascinating lyrics. I would love to have a conversation with some of these guys someday to ask where they came up with a few of their songs! They are supposed to be terrific live, and if they ever come over here to tour, I would go see them in a heartbeat (although they could certainly never top Adam!). Since it is their most well-known song, I included the video for "Woke Up This Morning", but you can find lots more by googling the band or checking Youtube.
As a trained vocalist, I love wonderful voices, but I also love bands and singers like this (and Leonard Cohen) because of the emotion and feelings they evoke. Their music is atmospheric in the best way. And you can dance to it!
