Good Music!

I found some really good music. I don't usually like Jazz all that much but this is pretty good. I got it off of iTunes as a free download. The song is called "How Many Times" by Zack Hexum. I listened to the snippet to see if it would be something that I liked and I did so I downloaded it. I think its a great song. I thought the last name sounded familiar...he's the little brother of 311 frontman Nick Hexum. (Hexum isn't exactly a common last name...at least not to my knowledge)

I went to see if he had a website and he did. Not only that but you can play whole songs from his album along with an interview. I liked the end...it was pretty funny. Anyway it's good music all around. He might sound too poppy for some but I liked it. What makes it great is that he writes all his own music and he plays various instruments. I like that. It's ok to sing songs that you didn't write for the most part I suppose but I like it when singers write their own music. I think it adds to the experience. You get to know what they were feeling and know that its coming from them and not someone else. I've always been a fan of singer/songwriters like James Taylor, Carole King, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and the list goes on.

Check it out if you have the chance. I think its great. Definitely worth the listen.
