O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be put to shame. They who depart from You and me [Your prophet] shall [disappear like] writing upon the ground, because they have forsaken the Lord, the Fountain of living waters.14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise, Jeremiah 17:13-14.
My favorite song on Idle Cure’s debut album relates to road trips, entitled Overdrive. This song has it all with a little bit of the Rocky IV soundtrack, a guitar solo and the fast pace to stay awake while driving at night. Like any band who is on tour for nearly decade, Idle Cure evolved with each of their 5 albums. Perhaps, to meet the changing demands of the 1990’s, Idle Cure eased up on the rock and roll to transition toward what I call Pop Rock. As a new week unfolds, I hope you have time to check out all 5 of Idle Cure’s albums on You Tube.
