Just because I am so overly confident about my musical tastes (elitist? Nahhhh), I feel the need to shed a little light on a Knoxville band that you need to listen to today.
The Dirty Guv'nahs.
As an educated, talented and charismatic group of rock and roll performers, they pretty much shatter any outsiders' views of Tennesseans. (ie: we don't wear shoes, we can't form sentences without using ain't and yens...that sort of thing). The Guvs are a ridiculously great southern rock band, talented way beyond their years, that formed out of random circumstances 5 years ago.
The Guvs are made up of 6 dedicated southern gentlemen who genuinely love what they are doing. And it shows. Check out their website and get to to their next concert to see for yourself!
And while you are downloading their latest album, Youth is in Our Blood, from Itunes-you should watch the videos for Baby We Were Young and We'll Be the Light!
Bottom line: if you hate good music, don't listen to them.
Lastly, If you are a Tennessee sports fan of any kind, I don't know how you could have made it through the past few years without seeing this...but just in case, you should probably check this out.
You're welcome in advance.
