Candlebox - Candlebox (1993)

Following up from other Seattle acts, Candlebox's debut did very well selling. They had good singles as at this time popular music was actually somewhat good in the rock field of course. It's kind of mysterious how a lot of bands went nowhere when they had such potential. Either the people listening on the airwaves got tired, personal problems within the bands, record companies shunned them for not selling it in there parameters of what they're goals in sales were. Even though there from Seattle and were considered alternative rock/grunge there's definitely blues influence in there songs they don't appear to me as grunge really. It's nothing new really, it sounds like it's from the nineties. I never understood why the song "You" was so popular, I still think it's overrated even though it's considered one of there best songs. I just never saw anything in that song. If you're into stuff like Collective Soul or Live, perhaps this is a good revisit. Songs to check out "Far Behind", "Cover Me" and "Change".
