I’m a huge fan of lyrical music. Sure a good beat and melody can get you moving on the dance floor, but for a song to truly “touch” me it’s got to have great lyrics. I’m also something of a romantic and a family man as you’ll see from my choices. There are quite certainly other songs that I love from a lyrical standpoint but these stood out as my favorites.

A while back, I reviewed a live album by one of my favorite bands Jackopierce. I don’t buy a ton of music these days (an album here, a song there) but when I find a band that I enjoy I pretty much get everything that’s available by them.

I bought this one directly from iTunes but it’s also available for purchase on their site as well: http://jackopierce.bigcartel.com/product/mile-high-1035 Here’s the description from iTunes:

- Mobile devices are now officially the bane of my existence. This includes cell phones, BlackBerrys, etc. Sure they’re nice when you REALLY need to get a hold of someone but I’m thinking about officially boycotting them. It’s crazy to be THIS connected.
- The Indians are so bad that I’ve stopped… Continue reading
For years, one of my favorite bands has been Jackopierce. I started listening to them in high school and have been enjoying their music ever since. For those of you that don’t know, Jackopierce is made up of Jack O’Neil and Cary Pierce. The band was formed in 1988 while they both attended college in Dallas. They recorded 6 albums including my favorite Live From The Americas before going their separate ways in 1998. Pip hipped me to the fact that Cary Pierce put out a live album last year (which is phenomenal).
Lo and behold, Jack and Cary are… Continue reading
