Sometimes there is nothing better than listening to the Great Rock n’ Roll from the 70’s and 80’s. And it’s hard to think about this period and not remember the fantastic Debut Album from Boston. Perhaps most famous for More Than A Feeling, this album also produced some other amazing tracks, like Smokin’. Originally released as the B-Side to More Than A Feeling, this song has become a staple on classic rock radio, and even made an appearance on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the fictional radio station K-DST. This video is from a live performance in 2008, a year after the untimely death of front-man Brad Delp. Boston show they are still rocking on in the memory of a Rock Hero.

Today is the 1^st May, that means May Day!!! If you happen to be in and around Oxford this week, you’ll know that it means clubs staying open through the night, Spire Top Performances from Choirs and some unlikely restaurants opening up for breakfast at 7am. Trust me, it’s a fantastic experience, try and get yourself there and experience it. In light of this, we thought you should hear some good Oxford based music from Swervedriver. They didn’t make as much of a splash as Radiohead or Supergrass did, but they had some pretty decent tracks. Here is the official video for Never Lose That Feeling, a great track, fitting of the musical genius Oxford has given us.

TOTP 1981

80 years ago today, Country Music legend Willie Nelson was born in Texas USA. Since that day, he has created over sixty studio albums, 10 live albums almost 40 compilations, as well as acting in both TV and Film and has co-authored many books along with his own autobiography. Through the years, Willie has brought us some outstanding music, and has become synonymous with Country Music during the Twentieth Century. Please join us in wishing him a Happy Birthday, and fingers crossed he’ll still be recording in the years to come. For Willie’s birthday treat, we have Altered Images’ rendition of Happy Birthday. A somewhat obscure version of the classic song, but brilliant nonetheless. If you’re lucky enough to share this special day with Willie, then Happy Birthday to you to from all of us here at Legacy.

Just this week, Kenny Chesney has released his latest album, Life On A Rock, his 14^th studio album to date. We are aware Country Music doesn’t have enough air time here in the UK, so we thought the best way to introduce you to it, would be through the song that would “blend of country instrumentation and anthemic pop that became his signature and made him a star”.

.

The Tin Man is a fantastic song, and the forward by a young looking Kenny Chesney will have you falling head over heels for country. We are very sure that this song will change your perspective on country music, and will have your wearing a Stetson in no time at all.

German TV show 2011

With less than a month until the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, i’m sure that we aren’t the only ones planning a Eurovision party. What could be more exciting than listening to a mix of overly ‘Poppy’ songs in a mixture of languages i do not comprehend? In light of this, we thought it would be appropriate to exhibit the talents of the entry from the UK, Bonnie Tyler. Bonnie has been wowing audiences the world over for years, and here level of performance hasn’t dropped, just check out her rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart only 2 years ago on live German TV. We can’t wait for May 18^th, here’s hoping Bonnie can bring it home for the UK!!!

Live From The X-Factor USA

.

So, Britain’s Got Talent is returning to your telly-boxes soon enough, and it begs the question ‘What has Simon Cowell Been Up to?’ Unless you’ve been watching the X-Factor USA, it’s likely you haven’t heard the sound of Tate Stevens, which is a shame. This week we see the release of his first Major Label Album following his victory of the show. And we though you should see at least one of his show-stopping performances before passing judgement. I’m quite sure you’ll enjoy and be amazed by the way he clearly steals the show. His rendition of Keith Urban’s Love Somebody Like You is exceptional, no wonder he ended up winning the thing!!
