Music Is Life

As a musician, just like with writing, sometimes I find myself without inspiration. However, I have noticed when I buy some new albums to listen to, song ideas seem to flood into my head (Even if most of them are at 2am!). This has been the case for me lately. I have written several new songs in the past month. I have also bought a handful of new albums in the past month (See the pattern here?!?!). So I have decided to share with you a list of new albums I have been listening to lately, as well as some that are constant rotation in my collection. So here it goes....
