Rock Minutes

Whiskey River – Willie Nelson

I know, the name of the web page is “rockminutes” with the emphasis on ROCK, but any true music fan will appreciate this song on their mp3 player, along with the others on this list. One of Willie’s all time great songs and a must have for everyone’s music collection; place it right between the Ramones and Elvis, it will fit right in, trust me.

Surrender – Cheap Trick

For those of you unaware, rockminutes is based out of the Midwest, which of course is influential in our taste in music. One of the great underrated bands out of the Midwest is Cheap Trick. They really are one of the great bands that were too easily and quickly forgotten. If you don’t have any Cheap Trick in your collection, at the minimum add this one, you will not regret it!

I would never think that Metallica and Lou Reed would be a good fit but they kill this version of “Sweet Jane”. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and Metallica does a great job including great backing vocals from James Hetfield. Lou Reed proves he can still bring it as well. Turn this up and enjoy it.

Check out this great video of Tom Petty performing his classic song “The Waiting” with Eddie Vedder. It is not often you get to hear Petty sing back up for Eddie Vedder. You can also get a taste of how nasty Mike Campbell is on guitar.
