Shining Down in Music City by: Beth Middlecamp

And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Baby be a simple kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can. - Ronnie Van-Zant I hate to admit that I have the message of the crow and the butterfly explained to me. That having been said, no one need explain why I love this band. The depth of Shinedown's music and Brent Smith's rich gritty vocals penetrate. I love this man's voice! "The Energy" explains exactly what they have! They bounced around the stage throwing the songs at us with ferocity. "What a Shame" and "Call Me" live were touching in a way that the album could never land. "Cyanide" rocked the house! They ripped through the album "Sound of Madness" with electricity straight to the soul as they throbbed through their songs. The crowd ate it up and yelled for more! Then the guys let their hair down!! Clothes came off, drinks were poured and they came back at us again for fun! Shinedown was not only awesome to hear and fun to watch but they seemed to have just as great of a time as the crowd did. All I can say is that I can't wait until they come back to town. -B- Eric Bass - Bass, Piano, Vocals Brent Smith - Vocals Zach Myers - Guitar Barry Kerch - Drums
