They’re a rock band without a guitar? Yep! I saw these guys twice this last week and I do really like them. I highly recommend their self titled debut album. The first night I saw them they ended their set with a rendition of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” They said it was only the third time they’ve played it live and it was really fun to see a cover of the song without a guitar. The first time they played it was when they were touring with Chris Cornell and he sang the lead vocals. Today’s song is that recording. I’ve also added a second song by Crash Kings called “It’s Only Wednesday.” My guess is that this may become their second single after “Mountain Man.”

P.S. – No more Freestyle Friday. I’m gonna stick with “Friday is for…” for now on which will include covers, remixes, mashups, and the occasional freestyle.
