Suggested Listening: Better Than Ezra - "Closer"
These guys have been around since 1988, and are from the great state of Louisiana. They have gone through some changes (including the death of one of their members), but are still going strong with their own sweet blend of southern rock. One of their biggest hits, "Good," came off of their 1993 release Deluxe, but I find Closer to be a much more accessible and listener-friendly record. First released in 2001, Closer has a stellar track list and excellent audio production. Seriously, start at track 1 ("Misunderstood") and listen straight through to the end. This is truly a solid album that I would recommend to fans of any genre. "A Lifetime," is a story about a girl dying in a car crash on her way to graduation. It is a sad story, but the song is inspirational, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. If nothing else, listen to both tracks that feature DJ Swamp - "Extraordinary," and "Recognize" - you'll be glad you did.
