Jordan Reyne
Jordan Reyne I have to say one thing up front, if these are preliminary mixes then this album is gonna be a beast. @JordanReyne
Back in 2016, seems like yesterday, I discovered this new (to me) artist who completely blew me away at the time. Given my penchant for dark music and humor Jordan Reyne was right up my alley.
Well fast forward to today and I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from Jordan, and doubly pleased to get an invitation to hear a preview of some tracks from a new album in the works, there areā¦

Itās good to be theĀ King
King Louis of France (Mel Brooks actually) is having a great time at his palace. Surrounded by the beautiful ladies of the court whom he frequently grabs, he regularly remarks straight into the camera āitās good to be the kingā.

The Best Tower of London Tour
The Best Tower of London Tour ever
This has to be the finest guided tour of the Tower Of London one could wish for. Bill Callaghan is like many other Yeoman Warders very very knowledgeable regarding the history of the Tower of London. He also has a unique presentation, and I would bet that if one was on the tour they would learn more history than they could ever learn in school. His descriptive prose regarding William Wallace,ā¦
