With the upcoming release of Kings of Leon's new album, I have become very excited about their music again. They have grown up a lot over the past many years, and their music continues to get better. Three brothers and a cousin make up this band. Growing up in Tennessee, traveling the state with their preacher father, Leon, the boys were home schooled most of their lives. Hard to believe that such a sheltered life could yield such great music, but I guess that's where the authentic rawness in their music comes from. I ran into these guys in a bar like 4 or 5 years ago and they seemed quite uncomfortable and out of place. Hard to believe, cause if I were to picture them, I'd put them on top of the tables kicking over glasses and breaking beer bottles, yeah! I actually struggled with which picture to post of these guys because they are sporting a new flashier look now, but I love their old weird hair days much more, so I decided to go with that. I mean, if I were a rock star, which I am, I would look like the lead singer with the glasses for sure. Every album is great. This is one of their new songs off the upcoming album.
