3 DOORS DOWN "LET ME GO"
I've been a fan of the Mississippi-based band 3 Doors Down since I saw them at Endfest in Bremerton 4 years ago. So far in their young career, they've released two very solid albums, "The Better Life" and "Away From The Sun".
On February 8, 3 Doors Down will release their third album, titled "Seventeen Days", featuring the new single "Let Me Go". "Seventeen Days" is currently being recorded in Nashville with producer Johnny K, who is best known for working with Disturbed. After listening to "Let Me Go", I'm going to call it right now: 3 Doors Down "Seventeen Days" will be one of the most successful rock albums in 2005.

And in addition, The Tennessean interviewed guitarist Chris Henderson a couple of weeks ago. Henderson was asked why the band wanted to record their new album in Nashville, a few hours way from their Mississippi home.
"We figure we're a Southern band, and Nashville's a Southern city, sort of. It's a Southern city with a lot of un-Southern flavor — kinda like L.A. and New York all mixed in with Mobile, Ala. It felt right in our guts. And here we can fly under the radar a little bit — people know we're here, but they don't really give a crap, because there just went Loretta Lynn."
Whatever you do, don't stereotype Nashville as just a country music town. It's a great music town in general.
I can't wait til February 8.
