I was flipping channels at around 2 a.m. and I found myself watching Emeril Live on The Food Network. You've gotta have respect for anyone who can take a run of the mill cooking show, add a live studio audience and a band, and get people to clap for him just by adding some hot sauce to a dish or sprinkling a little garlic. Anyway, as he's going to commercial, he has a guest playing some music. The guy's name is John Corbett. Apparently, he was an actor in Northern Exposure and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I didn't realize he was an actor until I read his bio on his website.
His music, at least the few songs he played on t.v., was really good. His website describes his style as "Southern Rock" that "takes country music's earthy emotionalism and gives it a rowdy, rocking kick." A few of the songs I heard on his site were a little "too country" for me, but most of them were great. He kind of reminds me of Blues Traveler but with more of a country twist.
