Babe The Blue Ox

One of the things that are usual to my tastes are artists that "march to their own drummer".   I have my preferred genres, but there are many and I don't always like what's in a genre.  Having a uniqueness is often as key as living and not just performing your music.  Built into both of those ideas is having your own vision that is displayed uncompromisingly.  

These folks, without a doubt, do exactly that.  They are funky without being funk.  They rock while not ever coming near "stadium rock".  Often they are beautiful without writing "pretty" songs.  If I had to put them in a genre I'd choose alternative.   

Like any band, they go through phases.  They just released a new album called What About Today? in 2024.  If you want to listen to everything prior to 2017, go through the O​.​X. Set - For Paul album.  An awesome track is Tattoos, oh my god, a good track.  Here are some links to that track and some other favorites:

• Tattoos

• Can't Stand Up

• {more to come}
