14: God And Guns - Lynyrd Skynyrd

God And Guns by Lynyrd Skynyrd Is an entertaining album. Packed with political punches which aren't too subtle.

In short half the songs are saying that 'God' and 'Guns' are an important part of America and that they should not be tampered with etc...

While I'm not a big supporter of fire arms and I do believe in religious freedom I did find this message repeated all too often. Also entertaining is the fact that there isn't much of the original band on this recording.

However there are some (as one would expect) very catchy riffs and energetic songs on this album which I have enjoyed. I don't think its going to be as classic as the original offerings but it isn't bad.

One last note... My brother agrees with me that many of the tracks on this album sound like they could have been recorded by Nickleback

13: Black Rock - Joe Bonamassa

Black Rock - Joe Bonamassa was a serious let down for me. I have many of his albums and this one didn't grab me at all. I'm aware that I have been very busy and that didn't help me get into it at all.

I will try again with this album at some time. But it didn't get me in the same way others have. And I'm quite a fan of Mr Bonamassa.
