Politics

Our nation is not a nation united.... It is a nation divided. Never is that more obvious then during election season.  This is not a post about who I am voting for, nor about who you should vote for.. It is about being disillusioned (sp?). When I go to the polls on Tuesday, in many cases I will be voting for the lesser of two evils... Because honestly no one seems right.  I know some people who are so liberal and some people who are so conservative.  These people spout venom to those that disagree with them.  I watch negative campaign ad after negative campaign ad.  I will be so grateful come 3 days from now when the results start coming in because truly even though someone (eventually) will be declared a winner, Americans will not win.  We will not win till we bridge this divide.

"Roads" by Chris Mann

I just got a sneak peak at Chris Mann's new album "Roads" that came out last Tuesday.  If you are a fan of "The Voice" you will remember him a year ago as one of the top 4 finalists.  Chris was the one I was rooting for so when I got a chance to check his new CD out I jumped at the chance.  For those not familiar with Mann, I would say he sounds a lot like and his songs are similar to Josh Groban (another one of my faves).  According to his official website (http://www.chrismannmusic.com/), Chris was trained in opera.... but for those that don't like opera, don't let that stop you, this CD includes some popular hits and some songs that I have never heard before (he did write a few of the songs on the CD).  The first song is the title track "Roads" and I think that is a perfect starter for anyone who has never heard his singing.  His second song is a cover of Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now", and does a good job with just the male voice (and heck, if he wants someone to duet with him on this song - I am available!)  He is like a peppy version of Frank Sinatra on "My Way".  For those that love opera you are going to enjoy his version of "Ave Maria".  And for those engaged and looking for a first dance song check out "Falling".
I am not going to talk about every song on the album... you need to check it out for yourself.  I will leave you with a picture of his album cover and ladies he is pretty easy on the eyes!!

If you want to check "Roads" out for yourself you can find it on iTunes (http://bit.ly/SgkwJb) Amazon.com (http://amzn.to/XQpJc8).
