Artist of the Week

It is that time...time for the very first Artist of the Week.

*drum roll please*

Artist of the Week: Concrete Blonde


Concrete Blonde is an alternative rock band from the late 80s - early 90s. They released their first album (Concrete Blonde) in 1986, broke up in 1993, reunited in 2001 and officially retired in 2006. They had a few minor hits in "God Is A Bullet" "Caroline" and their most well know "Joey" which reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The poignant vocals of Johnette Napolitano evoke Janis Joplin. Coupled with her poetic lyrics and guitarist Jim Mankey's licks make for a great listening experience.

At times soothing, at times macabre, Concrete Blonde's unique sound is one to check out.
