Listen to "Son Of The Bourbon"
We've been down with Blackberry Smoke since day one. These guys are Southern Rock. and rock they do. They've toured with ZZTop, and it looks like they're spending their summer on the water (They're on Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man Cruise, and Rock Boat 9.
Its the Summer of Georgia Music, and Blackberry Smoke's getting in the act with Honky Tonk Bootlegs. You can here "Son of The Bourbon" on the station, and on this blog anytime you want. But to really experience the Blackberry Smoke experience, you'll need to scoot on over to to the band's website and pick up HTB.
BBSmoke has a distinctive Southern sound that is unfortunately missing on over-the-air radio, but I don't see how they can hold this band down much longer.

We scour the internet for Georgia's Best music. We get a lot of good music submitted that never gets played.
But when we heard Viciou$ we knew we needed to get this out to the masses.

Viciou$ Bio
Biography Viciou$ is an Atlanta based hip hop artist with a track record that dates back to the mid 90's. He was in a group with his two cousins and friend called A.T.F.C. Viciou$ started freestyling at the tender age of 8. When he was 11 years old Viciou$ started writing his own songs. By the time he was 14 years old he was doing shows and recording songs. Viciou$ brings romance, energy, excitement, storytelling, and true to life lyrics. He truly defines versatility from a hip hop perspective. In 1998, Viciou$ decided to step away from hip hop due to a very hostile separation with the group. About 2 years later Viciou$ met Tyrone Davis (Founder/CEO of N.O.H. records). Tyrone had a huge impact on Viciou$'s decision to start rapping again. Not long afterwards Tyrone was murdered.
God puts people in your life for a reason and Viciou$ feels that Tyrone being put in his life was God's way of letting him know what he's supposed to be doing with his life. Viciou$'s mission is to challenge the industry by continuing to put out quality music. He says, "Quality is what being an artist is all about."

The Georgia Theatre - A Classic City Icon
If you've ever spent any time in Athens Georgia, you've spent lots of time at The Georgia Theatre. I spent most of the nineties in the Georgia Theatre Balcony (I was the guy with the funny hat). Its a right of passage for young Southern singers and bands to headline the Georgia Theatre.
RandomThings I've Seen At The Georgia Theatre:
- U.G.A. Football - Its like being at the game, but you don't have to hide your beer
- Kinchafoonie, Josh Joplin, Rollin' In The Hay, Collective Soul, David Allan Coe, Govt Mule, Jump Little Children, Ben Folds Five, the list could go on and on....
- "Wizard Of Oz set to The Wall , Pink Floyd Lazer Light Show, Dazed And Confused
- In the 90s they set up a dance club between 2 and 4. No Alcohol, and it turned into a bunch of high-school kids out past curfew...
- Random fights, break-ups, hook-ups, naked women, naked men (eww!)
