Let me begin by saying….most of the time MySpace seems to be a useless tool. Except tonight it showed me something different then what I am used to. Which is usually strange messages from strange guys (human, supposedly though I am not too sure, and not too sure I want to know) wanting to “get to know me” or updates from all my friends and their iphones or android thingymajiggers . Instead I got a friend request from a band called The Fantastic Harlan Jones Band.
In the “blurb” with the request it said something to the effect of…”If your into Rolling Stones…blahblahblah” well yeah of course I dig the Stones. The first song I picked was “Down This Road” which you can hear a clip of it below. You can buy “Down This Road” on iTunes & other places too! (Yes I bought it.)

From the first listen of this track it did remind me of Stones, but then the singing started and I instantly thought…this is like old ass Aerosmith too! NICE!. With a lot of emo, screamo “My mom sucks” bands taking over the internet these days, I have to say this was the nicest random friend request I have gotten from a band in a long time.
Listen to the rest of this song and others at the bands MySpace profile aka: www.myspace.com/thefantasticharlanjonesband. Tell em’ CarrieRawks.com sent ya. :-P
I love it!
