This is an excerpt from the excellent tour we went on at Sun Records in Memphis, TN, during the big road trip. The tour guide used his best radio voice the whole time, and he really seemed to enjoy giving the tour. It’s so strange to think that when Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry [...]

Leona Lewis’ new album, “Echo,” is ready to launch, and she’s been tapped to record the theme song for James Cameron’s new movie, “Avatar,” which must be exciting for the 24-year-old star. With exposure like this, it’s tempting to forget that she’s really only been in the public eye since winning the X-Factor in [...]

There’s a moment in even the best road trip when sitting in a car starts lulling you to sleep. Especially when you’re driving in the winter months and it gets dark between 5 and 6pm. The night sky passing by the windows and the sound of the wheels on the road are so soothing that [...]

In this episode, Singer/Songwriter Christa Mae shares the story behind the lyrics to my favorite of her songs, “Diesel”:

In this episode, Singer/Songwriter John Shipe shares the story behind the lyrics to the title track from his recent album, “Yellow House”:
I used to live in Yellow House. With a woman 6 feet two inches tall. Only, she wasn’t my wife, she was just a roommate. (My girlfriend at the time was [...]

Sometimes while I’m looking around on MetroLyrics.com, I notice a trend. Today I noticed how often the word “baby” appears in song lyrics, and I decided to search for baby and see how often it came up. Pages and pages of baby-themed songs and artists came up, but as I was scrolling through the first [...]

Perhaps you’ve heard of this movie coming out next month called “New Moon”? I think it’s an indie film about a hot, young werewolf who gets pestered by a pale girl and a bunch of emotional vampires. Or something like that… Just kidding!
New Moon, the latest in the Twilight saga, comes out November 20th, and [...]

If you look at the MetroLyrics home page today, you might notice Barry Manilow’s new Christmas Album listed in the upcoming albums on the right-hand side of the screen.
