I am a fan (and you should be too), because...if you are looking for music that both sounds great and lyrics you can relate to...here it is! My daughter and I started out as huge fans of the Idols show. We traveled to Nashville, TN to see it live and it was my daughter's first concert...she fell asleep after Chris sang! But then we waited out back where the buses come out for 2 hours afterwards and she held up her "Chris Rocks" sign as they drove by! Anyway, even being a mom I know great music when I hear it. I was a total 80's rock chick growing up, so a lot of the new stuff I don't care for...but this CD is great! Good luck to the band. I hope to see you in Memphis!
