Rock Music
Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as " rock and roll" in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, developing into a range of different styles in the mid-1960s and later, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom.W. E. Studwell and D. F. Lonergan, ''The Classic Rock and Roll Reader: Rock Music from its Beginnings to the mid-1970s'' (Abingdon: Routledge, 1999), p.xi It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style that drew directly from the blues and rhythm and blues genres of African-American music and from country music. Rock also drew strongly from a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles. For instrumentation, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music with a time signature using a verse–chorus form, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Great Things (album)
''Great Things'' is the title of Ian McNabb's 8th solo album. The album officially produced no singles, although promotional singles of 'New Light' were pressed. Critical reception Although the album failed to chart, it was highly praised by reviewers. Pete Whalley, writing for Getreadytorock.com said " Great Things demonstrates not only what a quality writer / performer McNabb is, but also serves to demonstrate how lightweight some of the current crop of singer songwriters are". Record Collector Magazine's Terry Staunton concluded that the "Tongue... in cheek" title of 'I Can't Help It If I'm Great' was "undeniably true" (In reference to McNabb), giving the album 4/5 stars. Track listing # "Great Things" :08# "Empires End" :55# "All About a Woman" :04# "This Love" :51# "Stormchaser" :32# "New Light" :18# "Pinin'" :29# "I Can't Help It If I'm Great" :59 References {{Authority control 2009 albums Ian McNabb albums ...
