Learning as I go along in life


And now, Rockapella’s “Use Me”….seen from another angle.

Yeah.



Ah, early 90’s fashion….

According to the Youtube description, this is Rockapella singing “Won’t Be Long” on Japanese TV with a group that I don’t know the name.  If anyone who reads this and knows who they are, just drop me a message.

That’s right folks, the studio album from 2002 with Barry Carl retiring and the debut of George Baldi III replacing him as Rockapella’s resident Bass Man.

Album Review: Rockapella “In Concert” CD and DVD

This is the first album I bought when I got back into Rockapella.  Since it’s a live CD, it’s hilarious hearing the audience go crazy and since you can only here the audio, you wonder, what’s going on?  I got the DVD eventually.  The hard part of this review is that I’m trying to review a CD featuring songs I’ve already reviewed.

My parents were made instant lovers of Rockapella the minute they played this album, I think mainly because the guys are performing remakes of songs they themselves have grown up with.  And according to my mom, dad could not believe that it was Jeff Thacher by himself making those sounds.

Rockapella’s Last Hurrah, originally uploaded by eyduck.

This 2000 album continues the theme of a slick, poppy production like its predecessor, Don’t Tell Me You Do.
