Kenny Chesney – You And Tequila Ft. Grace Potter

2011-07-06T22:40:00.002-05:00

Kenny Chesney – You And Tequila Ft. Grace Potter

Contemporary country star Kenny Chesney didn’t have the immediate breakout success that many of his peers enjoyed upon signing with major labels, but gradually built up a significant following via hard work, pop-friendly ballads, and a likable, average-guy persona. Chesney was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in the nearby small town of Luttrell, better known as the home of Chet Atkins. He grew up listening to both country and rock & roll, but didn’t get serious about music until college, when he studied marketing at East Tennessee State University. He received a guitar as a Christmas present and set about practicing, and was soon performing with the college bluegrass band. He soon started writing songs as well and played for tips in local venues — most often a Mexican restaurant — every night he could; additionally, he managed to sell 1,000 copies of a self-released demo album. After graduation in 1991, he moved to Nashville and became the resident performer at The Turf, a rougher honky tonk in the city’s historic district. While he gained experience, it wasn’t the sort of place where he’d be discovered, and in 1992, he moved on to a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose. From there he landed a record contract with Capricorn and released his debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, in late 1993.

Unfortunately for Chesney, Capricorn wasn’t much of a country label; not only was the album underpromoted, but the label’s country division shut down completely not long after its release. Still, it sold 100,000 copies and caught the attention of several big-time major labels. Chesney ended up signing with RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I Need to Know in 1995. The album gave him his first two Top Ten hits in the title track and “Fall in Love.” His follow-up, 1996′s Me and You, became his first album to go gold, thanks to two number two singles in the title track and “When I Close My Eyes.” Released in 1997, I Will Stand was another gold-selling effort that gave Chesney his first-ever number one hit in “She’s Got It All,” plus another number two with “That’s Why I’m Here.” His big-time breakthrough, however, came with 1999′s Everywhere We Go, which sold over two million copies and spawned two number one hits with “You Had Me from Hello” and “How Forever Feels”; it also featured another Top Ten single in “What I Need to Do,” and another, “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” that just missed. In 2000, Chesney issued his first Greatest Hits compilation, and two newly recorded songs — “I Lost It” and “Don’t Happen Twice” — went to number three and number one, respectively.

Greatest Hits became Chesney’s second straight double-platinum release and topped the country LP charts. He followed it with the all-new No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest commercial performance yet. It, too, hit number one on the country album charts and spun off four Top Ten singles in “Young,” the number one “The Good Stuff,” the Bill Anderson co-write “A Lot of Things Different,” and “Big Star.” A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003, and he returned strongly with 2004′s When the Sun Goes Down, which won in the Album of the Year category at the Country Music Awards. He repeated the win, this time as Entertainer of the Year, with Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair). Chesney found himself the subject of much tabloid fodder in 2005 with his surprise marriage to actress Renée Zellweger (he had composed 1999′s “You Had Me from Hello” after watching Zellweger in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire). The pair split that same year, citing irreconcilable differences, and Chesney released the chart-topping The Road and the Radio in November. In the years that followed, Chesney kept busy, releasing Live: Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates in 2007. In April 2010, Chesney and director Joe Thomas released the 3D concert film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D. Taken from his 2009 Sun City Carnival Tour, the film included 23 songs from six stadium shows, shot in 3D, interspersed with interviews and home movies. A completely new studio album, Hemingway’s Whiskey, named after a Guy Clark song, also appeared in 2010. [source: AllMusic.com]

Lyrics to You And Tequila by Kenny Chesney
Baby, here I am again
Kicking dust in the Canyon wind
Waiting for that sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive
Hell bent on getting high
High above the lights of town

‘Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

Thirty days and thirty nights
Been putting up a real good fight
And there were times I thought you’d win
It’s so easy to forget
The bitter taste the morning left
Swore I wouldn’t go back there again

‘Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

When it comes to you
Oh, the damage I could do
It’s always your favorite sins
That do you in

‘Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

Never enough
You and Tequila
You and Tequila

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals: Live from the Artists Den

As one of the last days of summer winded down on the
Southwest Porch in New York's Bryant Park, Vermont rockers
Grace Potter & The Nocturnals sent the season out in style
with a night of funk, rock, and soul. Along with stand-outs
from their self-titled 2010 album such as "Paris (Ooh La La)
" "Medicine," and of course, "Hot Summer Night," the band
treated fans to a cover of the Jefferson Airplane classic
"White Rabbit," in which Potter expertly channeled another
Grace.

It's a very impressive piece of footage. However, one early skepticism suggests that, while the video may be legitimate, the audio track may have been overdubbed after the fact, to include the surprised voices of onlookers reacting to the UFO's speedy departure.

So, as mystifying as the UFO appears in the videos, there are still unanswered questions.
And that's sort of the ongoing pattern in reports of unidentified flying objects.
But at least this is a step in the right direction. Keep those camera batteries charged.

December 17, 2010

Authentic and inspiring, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' rootsy
sound has won the band fans in cities all over the country.
Potter's soulful, bluesy voice draws frequent comparisons to
Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, and the band has won plenty of
awards, from several Boston Music Awards
(Album of the Year and Best Female Vocalist of the Year)
to a Jammy for Best New Groove.

The group has now evolved into a strong quintet and broken
into the big time with a recent self-titled album. As Potter
notes, the process of making the record "was fluid and
effortless. In my mind, an album shouldn't be self-titled
unless it feels that way."

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - their story!

2010-12-15T20:47:00.003-06:00

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are like a modern-day
version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a
spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones
circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on
the band’s third album for Hollywood Records, hitting
this spring, and marks an artistic breakthrough
for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its
immense promise. Little wonder that Grace and her
cohorts have chosen to title it, directly and emphatically,
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
“This record is the first time it’s really been us — the
first time we’ve all found each other and ourselves,”
says Potter with obvious excitement. “Everybody was
totally comfortable,everything we had was sitting right
in front of us, and it just poured out of us. The whole
thing was fluid and effortless.
In my mind, an album shouldn’t be self-titled unless
it feels that way.” “We were a homegrown Vermont
band for five years,” says Grace with a wicked smile.
“Now we’re a national act that does not want to be
fucked with.”
After pausing for dramatic (or comedic) effect, she
continues in a more serious vein. “With this record
we feel like we’re finally there, after a long struggle.
It’s like the song ‘Oasis,’ which is about slogging
through the desert feeling like you’re completely
lost, with no end to the road and very little hope.
I wrote it as advice to myself to keep on walking,
because in the middle of the desert there might
be an oasis.And that’s what we’ve actually found.”

Severe Thunderstorms of June 17, 2010

2010-06-18T15:18:00.008-05:00

Supercell thunderstorms developed across southern Minnesota
during the afternoon of Thursday June 17th producing tornadoes
and large hail initially. These storms then developed a line of
damaging wind gusts that moved through parts of Rochester, MN
and eventually grew to produce strong to severe winds across much
of southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and into western Wisconsin
into the evening hours.

Tornado damage surveys in Dodge County, MN continue,
but an EF1 tornado was determined in northwest Rochester, MN
which occurred shortly after 900 p.m. CDT.

23. Packers - OT Bryan Bulaga - B+

Aaron Rodgers must have pumped a fist upon this pick.
History shows that offensive tackles are one of the safest
position picks in the first round, and for a team that saw
its QB bounced on the turf 50 times last season, getting a
big-time talent in Bulaga represents reason to celebrate.

County Style Ribs SEARED, and ready for the roaster 04/11/2010

2010-04-12T11:07:00.007-05:00

and the HEAT Goes On..........and the HEAT Goes On o/`o/`o/`o/`o/`o/`
In less than 20 minutes these country-style ribs were seared, and ready for the blue-speckled enamel roast pan to slow-roast to heavenly tenderness. I marinated the ribs in a mixture of apple cider
vinegar, garlic powder, and chili powder prior to hitting the cast iron grates. After searing I loaded the ribs into a lightly-greased (with olive oil), covered blue-speckled roaster, smothered the ribs
with finely-chopped sweet red pepper and onions (about 2 cups) &
added about 2 cups of thinned BBQ sauce of your choice
(I used Original KC masterpiece). I once again used apple cider
vinegar to THIN the BBQ sauce, and provide extra ZING and
tenderness to the meat. Into a pre-heated 325 degree oven for
2 (two) hours, basting & checking for done-ness only one at
about the 80 min. mark. FALL-OFF-THE-BONE-TENDERNESSHickory Chips added to the cast iron box on the right added good hickory flavor in just 20 minutes. Once again, I contend this grill is a "BEAST" with regards to sear-power (and shear power!) MEAT.....MEAT.....MEAT.....MEAT.......

Alice In Chains - 03/21/2010 - Roy Wilkins Auditorium- St Paul, MN

For the second time in 6 months I'm convinced that the
current line-up of Alice In Chains is more than 'for real'.
They are in fact, "very real" and perhaps, churning out
the most powerful music of their careers, despite the
tragic, and premature loss of one Layne Staley almost
eight years ago. This time around it was the last stop
of their current US leg in support of their 'Black Gives
Way To Blue' record. Previously in Sept 2009 they
played the legendary First Avenue in downtown
Minneapolis, melting the faces off a jammed-packed
house.
(NOTE:
w/regards to the Sept 09 performance: I have NEVER
been at a show before where those in attendance sang
back to the band like they did at this particular performance.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think so.)

Frontman William DuVall has not tried to replace Staley,
for nobody could do that. What he does bring is a huge
stage presence, killer voice, and guitar skills to the mix
in a very convincing way. He may not be as meteoric
a star as Staley, but he doesn't need to be. He's a nice
fit, and Alice In Chains is better off because of it. Dark
and compelling harmonies along with big riffs have
always been their calling card; it still is based on what
I heard last night.

I was once again blown away by Jerry Cantrell's
fretwork in this 2 hour show. Jerry is still the band's
current day *star*, however, the whole unit was
road-tested and tight on this nite,as you would expect.
Mike Inez on bass and Sean Kinney on drums may not
have done any stage diving into the pit on this night,
but there was no need to do so. Rock-solid perform-
ances in all regards!

The crowd was not subdued by any means, but maybe
not quite as crazy as the Sept 09 performance at First
Avenue. Maybe it was the larger hall that took the edge
off the crowd a bit on a late Sunday nite. That's the
perception I was struck with anyway. At times Cantrell
seemed like he had to coax reaction from the crowd.
Perhaps it was the newness of the songs, because they
did play a lot from the new record.

I thought the show was a nice mix of current material
and past hits. It kicked off with 'All Secrets Known'
from the current effort, until the encore finale' of 'Rooster'.
(3-song encore set)
'Check My Brain', 'Last Of My Kind', and their current
radio-track 'Your Decision' all included in the main set,
and rightly so! ('Last Of My Kind' my official new-fav)
Usual high points for me were 'Again', 'Them Bones',
'Would?', 'Angry Chair', the set-ending 'Man In The Box',
and the aforementioned 'Rooster' during the encore.

They're taking a short break and then jumping back
to the road in mid-April thru the end of May stateside,
onto Europe, and even Istanbul, Turkey during June
& July.
(see tour schedule )
The concert go'ers to RockFest in Cadott, WI
July 18th 2010 should be 'thrilled' to be rounding
out their 4-day annual fest with Alice In Chains.
Who knows, but maybe that's the act to get me
back to that hillside in the cow pasture!

as an intellectually dishonest, left-wing propagandist

drastically distorted the arrest of one of the ACORN
filmmakers last month during an unrelated attempted
exposé of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.).

Is the Favre-Childress matter resolved?

The parties involved say it is and stuck to that line after the game.
Brad Childress, in fact, seemed practically eager to talk about it.
But the offensive struggles of the first half have to make you
wonder whether the matter of audibles is still an issue.
And the Vikings also must be concerned about their special teams.
They allowed kickoff returns of 57 and 59 yards.

Reid Threatens to Be Grinch who Stole Christmas

2009-12-18T10:09:00.002-06:00

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatens to be the Grinch who stole Christmas. Sen. Reid is saying that he will keep the Senate in session to shove government takeover of health care down our throats on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

This is an outrage! It shows the an absolute disrespect to the most sacred Christian holiday. In an era of political correctness, it is stunning that the Senate Majority Leader is willing to disregard the most sacred of Christian holidays.

In addition to shunning the Christians of America, he is preventing the Senate staff members on the Hill in DC from going home for the holidays. The staff members in Senate district offices will also have to pull longer hours. This will prevent them from being able to spend the Christmas holiday with their families around the country.

Now, there is a major winter storm warning in Washington DC. If the weather is as bad as predicted the ability to travel in and out of DC will be very difficult over the weekend. If the travel is difficult over the weekend, then it will back up into next week making it even more difficult for travel next week during a peak travel period.

If this bill passes the Senate in 2009, the taxes on the health care bill will go into effect on January 1, 2010 but the benefits do not go into effect for another four years. How can it be so important to pass the bill in the next few days when benefits do not begin for years? How can the Senate be so disrespectful to Americans?

Orianthi in Minneapolis this morning on a whirlwind tour promoting her 'Believe' CD, out in the stores right now!

2009-11-04T20:27:00.004-06:00

Yesterday, 11-03-09 she was in Denver promoting her recently
released 'Believe' CD via CHR radio. As she tweeted her day to
loyal followers Tues. evening it would be Minneapolis the next
stop on her whirlwind tour of the US.
That was my cue to get organized to meet, & greet Orianthi &
her bandmates at KDWB fm. The interview was slated for 8:15am
(cst) which meant I would have to be to bed early, and rise very
early for the drive north from Rochester, MN. After some last
minute fact finding and directions to the right building I was at
my post in the 4th floor elevator lobby of the radio station group
by 7:30am. I solemnly stood my post until their arrival about
7:50am. Still enjoying her morning Starbucks, Ori answered all
my questions about her guitar up-bringing, musical influences,
and introduced me to her band-mates. She readily agreed to pose
for a photo before hurrying away into the locked passageways
of the radio station in preparation for the 8:15am interview.
Mission Accomplished! Keep an eye out, and an ear open for
this highly gifted guitar-slinging, pop songstress!
