Wrapping Up January: 2017

Cincinnati Skyline from Covington, KY

Seriously. It's February. Of 2017. Unbelievable.

January was (thankfully) not as busy as December you guys. However, it was busier than I expected. Not a lot of time for writing and the blog, but this is also a time period in history unlike anything I've ever seen. I don't know about you, but I'm finding it hard to write. Especially about food. It seems to me that everyone is angry these days. And I do mean everyone. The right and left alike are fired up. I mean, if you read any comments on any political piece, you will see anger. From both sides. I want to write about it, but I am still searching my soul for something to say that's not divisive. 

It seems an impossible task.

Running Playlist #1

I fear I have a new addiction. If you had known me 10 years ago (actually, you might have!), you never would have thought I would voluntarily run. I still can't believe how much I like it. Is this growing up? I feel like I've changed so much since I turned 30, how can that be? I've changed more in the last 10 months than I have in the last 10 years. Other changes I've noticed since turning 30:

1. I can't sleep in- What the heck? 

2. I can't stay up late- What the double heck?

3. I'm obsessed with having fresh flowers in the house.  

4. I've discovered I love mowing the lawn- Yeah, you read that one right.

5. I want to try new things- I've never ever wanted to try new things.

Going along with #5, I actually tried a Zumba class last night. By myself! This is an accomplishment, I usually need someone dragging me kicking and screaming to try a new activity by myself. I found myself nervous before the class, worrying I would look stupid or I would be intimidated. But I forced myself to go, and I'm glad I did. No more fear, I'll be able to continue the class on my own. 

Anyhoo, it's early on Wednesday morning here and I'm just waiting for it to get light to go for my run. And when I do go for my run, I'll be running to my new playlist. It's Miley Cyrus heavy, so beware!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Album Review: "Bangerz"

Image source: www.wikipedia.com

Fair warning, friends. This is a highly indulgent post. I think the last album review I did was for Nickelback's "Here and Now" album in 2011. Hmmm, I seem to have a thing for reviewing music that the majority of people view as "uncool". That's ok, I'm secure enough with myself to confess to buying this album. Back to my warning- if you don't want to read a highly liberal review of a controversial album written by an equally liberal person, I'd suggest closing this post out. That's ok, you can come back tomorrow for the usual foodie posts :)

Let me begin by saying, I'm a fan of the album. Yep, sure am. Let's face it people, this girl started in the business as a child. What's the one thing you can count on children to do? Grow up. No, Miley is not the same person she was when she was 8. She is 20. Sometimes I think people grow up, become adults, and then they come down with amnesia when it comes to their childhoods. I think most 20-year old's are preoccupied with the opposite sex, booze, and partying (or was that just the 22,000+ young adults that went to the University of Oregon?). This album could have been made by me when I was 20 (you know, if I could sing or write music!). Now hold on, let me explain.

I thought I knew everything when I was 20. I'd been in college a couple of years, gathered an impressive amount of knowledge, and basically thought I was a genius. I really thought I would want to party, drink, and never grow up for my entire life. I was right, everyone else was either wrong, or lame, or both. I thought I knew what I wanted, what I liked, and that I would never change my mind about anything. Does this mindset just come with the territory of being 20? Anyways, this is the place that Miley is now, you can tell. A place I can identify with, a place I've been. I'm not there anymore, but c'est la vie.

This is clearly a break-up album. No if's, and's, or but's about it. I can see why Miley and her man had to announce their breakup prior to this release, because the album says it all. I love it. It's got a crazy hip-hop theme, but you can still find some straight-up pop on there, like "#GETITRIGHT". The album's also angry and real. For all the controversy and stunts she's pulled, the girl can sing. Yes, I watched the VMA's. Yes, I heard her. It wasn't her best performance. She sang live on "SNL" and the "Today Show" since then however, and she's sounded strong. Listen to "FU" or "Wrecking Ball" and tell me she's not talented. "4x4" was immediately added to my running playlist. It's probably my absolute favorite song on the album. The song features Nelly, and if you were to buy any songs from the album, that's the one I would pick. There's a ton of other catchy collaborations from other artists as well, such as will.I.am, Future, and French Montana.

One more thing... Miley raps. If you aren't a fan of Ke$ha, you aren't going to be fond of Miley's MC skills. I happen to like Ke$ha, and personally, I gotta give any white girl who wants to rap some credit for their bravery. The bottom line? This is pop music, people, and it grows and evolves into something more outrageous every. single. day. And just when you think you've seen it all, some whippersnapper is going to come along and make everyone say "Miley WHO?". That's just the way it is. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this very entertaining and catchy album.

Best Downloads: "4x4" ft Nelly, "Wrecking Ball", "We Can't Stop", "FU", and "Maybe You're Right".

Skip: After listening to this album extensively, I wouldn't skip any songs. Buy the entire album (the deluxe version!). It's worth it. Some critics say the album just sounds like noise. I completely disagree, the album is fun and very listen-able.

New Playlist: 8/10/13

I'm loving summer music right now! I think this summer has been one of the top summers for music. There hasn't been summer music this good since Katy Perry's "California Girls". That was the same summer that Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie", Usher's "OMG", Ke$ha's "Tik Tok", Travie McCoy's "Billionare", and B.o.B's "Magic" hit the airwaves.

I know what you are thinking. How do I know that? I'm obsessed with music. Every song on my iPod reminds me of something. A memory is attached to every one. Seriously. Play a song on my iPod, and I can tell you what it reminds me off. All the songs I listed above, I remember for one reason. That was the summer that the company I used to work for sent me on my first business trip. It was to Jacksonville, Florida in June of 2010. It was my first time flying by myself, renting a car by myself, staying in a hotel by myself, etc. After meetings and classes all day, I would return to my hotel room, open a bottle of wine, settle down with a tabloid, and put on my iPod. Hence, listening to all of my summer music that year.

I can already tell this summer's music is going to be around for quite a while for me. I am still freakin' obsessed with "Blurred Lines", in all of its controversary-causing glory. Well, yesterday I stumbled on Flo Rida's "Can't Believe It". I cannot get enough, that song is on repeat around here! It's been great fun bumping that song in the new car. Speaking of that song, it's time to go get my run on :)

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

Summertime Workout Playlist

This virus I'm fighting is the devil! While I'm feeling much better today, I'm still a little woozy. I've got tons more energy than yesterday, but I can definitely tell I'm not 100% yet. Food doesn't sound as nauseating as it did yesterday, but I still don't have an appetite. I'm really, really hoping that today can be my last rest day, and my last day of forcing food into my body. I've been saying that everyday this week. Today is going to be yoga (hey, that's pretty restful!), couponing, mani's, and pedi's. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to workout to my new playlist.

I haven't worked out in over a week, and I feel like a capitol S, capital L, capital U, capitol G. Ugh, I hate getting this far off track. I don't get this sick that often, but when I do, it's enough to drive me crazy. Hopefully that will change tomorrow, and I can get my cardio on! I'm really obsessed with country in the summer. It seems like these summer months is when all those country songs get released about partying, drinking, staying out late, and sunshine. In other words, the best of country. And I do realize there are 2 Jake Owen songs on there, but come on. Jake Owen's voice is hot.

I sincerely hope that everyone is having a much better week than me :)

New Music: 5/23/13

Yep! It's time for some new music. Gotta keep on keepin' on.

I am obsessed with Robin Thicke's new song featuring T.I. and Pharrell "Blurred Lines". Obsessed. If you are going to download any song from this playlist, I highly recommend it. It's been on repeat on my iPod during my workouts. I thought I was cool when I found it about a month ago, however it's gone mainstream after being preformed on "The Voice" last week. Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles. I love it.

I'm still forging ahead on bikini season. I'm a little disappointed that I haven't lost any weight since moving into the house, but I feel so much better. I've toned up a ton. I've completely changed the hubby and I's diet since we moved in. I've been trying to drink lots of water (my goal is 10 glasses a day), and eating very clean. Lots of vegetables. It's making a huge difference. My skin has completely cleared up since we started eating better, and my hair is softer. And like I said before, there has been lots of toning. Overall, I'm pretty happy. My vanity pounds will come off when they come off. I've come to accept this.

I'm off to groove on the elliptical to my new playlist :)

Happy Thursday everyone! One more day until the weekend!

New Playlist: 4/24/13

Summer is upon us! I love this time of year, when the flowers are blooming, the sun smiles down on us, and you can actually picture getting into that bikini again. It's a panic-inducing moment, yes, but that's when the real motivation kicks in.

Winter is hard for me, because swimsuit weather seems so far away. I'm a short-term goal, instant-reward kind of girl, so this is the time of year when I'm finally able to kick it into high gear. And what helps me more than a new playlist? Not a whole lot. Good stuff, my friends, good stuff.

This is a great cardio list. It's a little bit longer, my workouts tend to get longer when bikinis are on my mind. And short shorts. And tank tops. And sun-dresses. Bass lines get my heart pumpin', and my ass in gear!

Workout Playlist #9

Well, guess where I am headed now? :)

Happy Hump Day friends!

Sunday Selects

Everyone has been doing a favorites post lately, so I thought I'd jump on the ol' bandwagon. Of course, everyone else got their posts in for "Friday Faves", while I did not. So you have "Sunday Selects". Voila :)

1. Spring!!!

I feel bad rubbing the fact that Spring is here in some of your faces' (ahem, Aunt Marilyn, who just got 10 new inches of snow in Minnesota). However, everything is starting to turn green here, flowers (ok, weeds) are popping up, and we've had some warm, sunny days. I'm not the only one loving it-

Ah, yes. That special time of year when one's dog loves to roll around in the grass, getting who knows what on him. 5 minutes after their bath's. Sigh.

2. The Americans

Image source: IMDB

If you haven't gotten into this fast-paced, highly fascinating show about Russian spies living in America during the Cold War starring former "Felicity" star, Keri Russell, you are missing out. One of the best parts of the show is to watch their (in today's standards, mind you) completely outdated technology. It's so crazy that this stuff was considered high tech just 30 years ago. Man alive, I'm old!

3. Brookside's Dark Chocolate

Image source: Facebook

I'm totally obsessed with these pieces of dark chocolate filled with pomegranate juice. The hubby is going to have to send me to dark chocolate rehab pretty soon :)

4. We've Got Spirit by James T. McElroy

Image source: Amazon

Here's what I'm reading right now, and here's why. This book was written about the cheerleading team where my hubby went to high school, and the county that I'm living in currently. They've won nationals many, many times. So many times, in fact, that someone decided to write a book about them. From what the hubby has told me, people around the county HATE this book, because they think it makes them look bad. I'm finding it pretty accurate so far, and it was written almost 15 years ago. Not my normal-type read, but a good historical account set in where I'm living.

5. Spring Time Baseball Games

Ok, so I've only been to 1 game. It was fantastic though! It was a sunny, 70º day in downtown Cincinnati, with hardly any wind from the river. We got free Red's fleece blankets, and drank beer for a couple of hours with friends in the sun. Does it really get any better than that? I also inhaled a plate of nachos that were piled high with BBQ pulled pork, salsa, jalapenos, cheese, and guacamole. Um, I'll be going back just for the nachos alone, thank you very much!

6. Buxom Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Amber

Image source: Sephora

Another of my latest obsessions. This slightly plumps your lips, has tons of sparkle, and just a hint of nude color. I'm already on my 2nd tube since October.

7. Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart"

Image source: Slack Time

This is currently my go-to workout song. Between the fast beat and Miranda's bad-ass-ness (yep, just made that up), this song really get's my Mojo going. I love, love, LOVE Miranda Lambert. Every song she does is perfect. I can't remember the last song that she released that I haven't bought. I really should just buy her albums :)

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Workout Playlist #8

Ah, again, it's mid-February. I seem to be suffering from the wintertime lackluster-ly's. It's too far from swimsuit season to see the finish line, and it's that time of year when motivation is fading. Fast.

But this girl must forge on. I will not give up. Maybe it's because I'm a year older (yes, I realize that's silly), but my body seems to be responding slower than I'm used to with getting in shape. I do realize it's a slow process, so I must give it time and move my arse. Easier said than done.

As always, music is my go-to motivator, so I've been feverishly creating playlists. Maybe one of them will light the spark again. Anywho, this is a great playlist for moving fast during your cardio. I'm not tired of Phillip Phillips' "Home" or Fun's "Some Nights" yet. I also threw in some older favorites as well as Eric Church simply because, well, I love him. Eye candy. Yum.

Keeping it movin' till next time :)

Move in May: Bikini Buster Workout

http://mommiecouture.com

Needless to say, I hated the Brazil Butt Lift. When I hate something, I don't do it. It got to the point where I didn't want to work out because I knew I should be doing the Butt Lift. It had to go. What's the point of an exercise regiment if you aren't going to do it?

http://carharttsandcoachbags.wordpress.com

In February, March, and April, I got out of shape. I had a lot of headaches, some low moods, and not a lot of energy. Working out fell by the wayside. May has come along with its 90 degree weather, and it's like I suddenly realized, "Hey! I'm going to have to be in a bikini soon!". Yikes. May has become Get Back Into Shape Month.

I started up again 3 weeks ago. To say it was hard would be an understatement. I can't believe how out of shape I got. I had to start small, doing 10-minute circuits on the elliptical. I'm proud to say I'm working back up there though, I got in 4 workouts this week. Hard workouts too! I'm tired and sore today, and taking a much needed day of rest.

Here's what I've worked myself up to and what I'm hoping gets me back in fighting shape:

20 minutes cardio- 1-minute warmup, followed by 2-minute intervals of sprinting, then resting. 3-minute cool down at Minute 17. I do my cardio on my elliptical machine.
Ab Toning- 25 crunches on stability ball, followed by 30-second plank. Repeat 3 times.
Butt Toning- 25 squats, followed by 20 arabesques on each leg. Repeat 3 times.
Arm Toning- (Using 5-lb weights) 15 push-ups, 15 lateral raises, 15 bicep curls, and 15 tricep extensions. Repeat 3 times.
20 minutes cardio- same as above.

Whew! That's a good workout. I also do 5-10 minutes of stretching pre and post-workout, as well as some dancing in between moves if a booty-shaker song comes on (there's just something about One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"). It also goes without saying that if you are doing a workout like this, make sure to eat enough calories during the day. I don't have a problem getting enough calories :)

If you need some inspiration to get moving this month, here are the requisite cute animal pictures to get you going :)

New Workout Playlist for 4/17/12

I'm determined to get in solid workouts this whole week. It will happen. I will never be ready for bikini season if I don't get on this! I'm off to a great start after yesterday. I'm heavily influenced by music for my workouts. I decided to entice me into working out, I would make a new playlist. Here's today's inspiration:

I'm a technologic moron, so if anyone knows how to upload an image of your playlist, contact me please!

Finally, what would the day be without a cute animal picture to make you smile?

Oh, the life of the easily amused :)

Corn Holin'

What you say? Corn hole? Umm, is that appropriate?

Yes, yes it is. Corn Hole is a traditional game here in the South, referred to on the West Coast as "Bean Bag Toss". The game has been around forever, the name coming from the fact that the original bean bags were filled with corn kernels and you toss the bags towards your opponents board, which has one hole in in. The object of the game is to get as many bags in your opponents hole as possible. Hence the name, Corn Hole. Yeah, I'm sure that's what you were thinking :)

Traditional Corn Hole Boards

Corn Hole is big in the South and big in the hubby's family. The hubby's uncle frequently plays in Corn Hole tournaments, as well as hosts them. The hubby frequently helps out at these tournaments, they can last up to 6 hours. The one complaint he had was that they needed more music. Apparently, they put a CD on and listen to it on repeat. That's one way to get sick of Daughtry real quick!

I set forth to make a playlist that the hubby could take with him next time. Making a 6-hour playlist was a tall order, I came up with a 3 hour playlist. I say even if you have to repeat the list once, at least you are only listening to the songs twice. Or play the list once, and then put a CD in. I'll have to work my way up to a 6 hour play list, that will take a while.

In making this "Corn Hole" playlist, I actually came up with an awesome workout list as well. Tons of the songs on this list are perfect for working out. My list now has a dual function! Seeing as how my list has almost 50 songs on it, I will share part of it here and post the whole thing on my playlists page.

Corn Hole Playlist:

I'll leave you with a pic of the hubby and his uncle getting their Corn Hole on.

With Cincinnati Bengals boards, of course :)

Rhythm And The Workout

It's been awhile since I made a new playlist for working out and I have been hearing lots of new songs lately that I thought would be perfect for a workout. I like to do cardio 2-3 times a week and music is what gets me through those heart-pounding minutes. It's essential for me to keep it fresh so I don't get bored. New music also makes me push harder, thus getting  a better workout. Here is the playlist that will keep me entertained for oh, probably a couple of weeks :)

1. Not Over You- Gavin DeGraw -----> My warmup song
2. Sexy and I Know It- LMAFO
3. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)- Kelly Clarkson
4. All Your Life- The Band Perry
5. We Are Young (ft. Janelle Monae)- Fun
6. We Found Love (ft. Calvin Harris)- Rihanna
7. Hell on Heels- Pistol Annies
8. Domino- Jessie J
9. Young, Wild, and Free (ft. Bruno Mars)- Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa
10. Good Feeling- Flo Rida
11. Ass Back Home (ft. Neon Hitch)- Gym Class Heroes
12. Turn Me On (ft. Nicki Minaj)- David Guetta
13. Baggage Claim- Miranda Lambert
14. Glad You Came- The Wanted
15. Give Me All Your Luvin (ft. Nicki Minaj)- Madonna
16. Heartbeat- The Fray ------> My cool down song

Again, no apologies peeps. This is what's currently getting my blood pumpin'! And hey, if it gets my lazy bum off the couch, who can complain?

20 Questions

This topic has been cropping up on a lot of the blogs I follow, so I decided to high-jack the idea for myself and do it on my blog. Here goes:

1. What was the last thing you took a picture of? The actual last picture I took was of my couponing haul for the week which you can find under the Weekly Deals section. But the one before that was a silly picture of Gizmo:

Gizmo has taken a liking to Haloti's baby bed

2. What is your favorite smell? Tie between Pulled Pork Tacos cooking in the crock pot and the baking of chocolate chip cookies.

3. What do you love most about yourself? How stubborn I am and how I refuse to give up.

4. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? How stubborn I am and how I refuse to give up! A close second would be my inability to give forgiveness a lot of the time.

5. If you were to win $10 million dollars, what would you do with it? Oh, I have thought about this way too much. First things first, I would buy a home. A new car for Jerame and a new car for me would be next. Obviously, we would give large sums of money to our immediate family members. Next would be large sums of money given to the Humane Society and a charity of Jerame's choosing. The rest would be invested wisely.

6. If you were given the opportunity to live anywhere else in the world, where would you live? I hate to say it people, but I would not stay here. I would have to say Canada (anyone out there surprised?). The culture up there is pretty similar to down here but Canada has universal healthcare, something the US sorely lacks.

7. What is/was your favorite subject in school? Geology. Not so much the mineralogy part, but my favorite course I took in college was Geological Hazards. My next favorite was a class glossing over the rock record (if you know the rock record, you know that it can't be completely covered in one class). 

8. What is your favorite food? Such a hard question! The answer my mind keeps coming back to is shrimp. So delicious and so incredibly versatile!

9. What is your favorite color? Purple (duh)

10. What is your favorite book? Gone With The Wind. I have lost count of how many times I have read this book. When I was younger, I used to read it once a year. I haven't read it in awhile, it might be time to brush the dust off of it and give it another read.

11. What is your favorite TV show of all time? 'Friend's. My husband often says he can't understand how I can watch episodes of 'Friends' over and over and over.

12. What is your favorite song? Wow, that's hard. If you were to look on my iPod to see what the number one song listened to is, it would tell you it's Hinder's "Better Than Me". That's definitely not my favorite song though. I am going to have to say All American Rejects "Move Along" which is on my Top 25 listened to on my iPod.

13. If your life was a song, what would the title be? "The Dance" by good ol' Garth Brooks.

14. Would you rather have the power to be invisible or the power to read minds? While it would be cool to be invisible, I think I would take the power to read minds. Yes, it would suck to know what everyone is thinking of you but you would also find out who your real friends are. Also, think how good this skill would be in business! How much easier would it be to strategize if you always knew what your opponent is thinking?

15. Would you rather have super strength or super intelligence? Easy, super intelligence. The super smart could always find or invent a way for them to develop super strength but there is no guarantee the super strong would also have super intelligence.

16. If you could be an animal, what animal would you be? I think I would want to be my dog. My dogs have it so easy and they have no idea! They don't have to worry about jobs, money, family, etc. The only thing they worry about is if I am going to take them for a walk or sneak them an extra snack. 

17. What is the most beautiful place you have ever seen? I don't travel a lot, so I would have to say Hawaii.

Kona 2007

Valleys in Kona

That's me! Looking out at the ocean in Kona, 2007.

18. What person in history would you most like to meet? I'd have to say Einstein. He was a genius but I bet he was weird as hell!

19. What was your childhood nickname? I didn't really have one but my high school dance coach used to call me "J-Rho". Lame, I know!

20. What is the biggest lesson you learned last year? Not to take anything for granted. Nothing is guaranteed so you have to enjoy and appreciate everything you have. That and 6 months worth of income in your savings is not enough!

Album Review: Nickelback's Here and Now

Nickelback's "Here and Now"

Nickelback is one of my most favorite bands. I take a lot of crap for liking them too. People everywhere have nothing but bad things to say about them. Well, guess what? I. Don't. Care. Detroit's online petition to have Nickelback NOT perform at the Thankgiving game against Green Bay? Laughable. It's true. People can say what they want to say, but I think Nickelback's album and concert sales speak for themselves.
This is their 7th album and I think it is what Nickelback fans have come to expect. The album is a combination of hard rock, rock ballads, and their typical pop songs that will probably be released on the radio. Most of Nickelback's pop music, I don't like. "How You Remind Me", "Photograph", and all their socially concious songs i.e. "If Everyone Cared", "If Today Was Your Last Day", and "When We Stand Together" are in my opinion the songs Nickelback releases to get pop hits. What I like about Nickelback is their hard rock. I fell in love with their "All The Right Reasons" album after hearing "Follow You Home", "All The Wrong Reasons", and "Next Contestant". My favorites on the "Dark Horse" album are the hardest hitting, "Burn It To The Ground", "Something In Your Mouth", and "Shakin' Hands". This latest album is no different for me.
The album opens with what is probably my new favorite song, "This Means War". I love, love, love the punch it packs. My next favorite on the album is definitely "Kiss It Goodbye", a hard rock anthem exploring the difference between the East and West Coasts. This album also has the typical Nickelback ballads and slow songs. I find that I actually like "Lullaby", a song that speaks to anyone going through a rough time. The song on the album that I think is most likely to be a pop hit is either "Lullaby" or "Don't Ever Let It End". "Don't Ever Let It End" I also surprisingly like. The lyrics are sweet and Chad's voice flows melodically on it.
All in all, it is a good album. Nothing has really taken the place as my favorite as "All The Right Reasons", but if you like Nickelback, you will like this album.

All Things Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney tops my list as one of my favorite singers. I mean seriously, who doesn't like "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy"? His songs are breezy and fun, especially for country music. However in the last couple of years his music seems to be evolving. Growing up perhaps. I for one am loving this evolution!

For me, it seems to start in 2005. Very gradually at first. With "Beer in Mexico" from his "The Road and The Radio" album you are starting to see the melancholy side of Kenny. It still has a very upbeat, almost island tempo but if you listen to the words, they are a little bit deeper than his norm.

It wasn't until 2008 that I heard something from him that completely surprised me. It was "Better as a Memory" from his "Poets and Pirates" album. Not a lot of people liked this song, perhaps because it was such a shift from what he usually does. Around this time I heard a radio interview with Kenny regarding this song at which time he said he wanted to roll the dice on this song. People were either going to love it or hate it but he liked the song so much he wanted to take a chance on it. I  for one think the gamble paid off (the song did hit #1 in 2008).

Cut to now (or 2010). There have been a couple of his new songs out recently that I think are brilliant. Both are from his latest album "Hemingway's Whiskey". The first one is "Somewhere with You". It's a beautiful, moody, dark song. There was a time in my life I felt the exact same way and I think that is why this song speaks to me so loudly. Those times are long gone but I still find this song haunting. The first time I heard it I thought, "How does he do that?".  The second song is "You and Tequila" which has been playing on the radio since Memorial Day. Again, wow Kenny! You are growing up! This song is a duet with Grace Potter and their harmonizing on this song is sublime. I do recommend downloading the radio version however as I saw them perform this song live on the "Today" show and it did not do the song justice.

Kudos Kenny! This is one fan that continues to grow more satisfied over time!
