Wolfmother

In my CD player right now is an album by a band called Wolfmother. If you were to put Ozzy Osbourne and the White Stripes into a jar and shake it up, then you would have Wolfmother. It is a nice blend of the two sounds. Just good, old-fashioned rock and roll. The library doesn't own anything by them yet, but you might come across it second hand and remember this blog and want to give them a try.
