There was a time in the not too distant past in which music aficionados discovered new music (and, more importantly, new artists) on MySpace (I know...how quaint). And, that's where I found the Scottish band Driveblind, a group fronted by a voice named Terry McDermott that burned white hot for moment and then disintegrated.
But, not before recording an album that shuffled forward the other day as I was driving from point A to point B. And, I reveled in the sound.
So, as is my wont, I went searching for whatever happened to that band...and that voice. Imagine my surprise to learn that Terry McDermott went on to be runner-up on Season 3 of The Voice, qualifying with "Baba O'Reilly" and finishing with "I Want to Know What Love Is."
I never made the connection. But, it's certainly there.
For this Music Friday, we head back to 2006 for "The Fool Rides Again" from Terry McDermott and Driveblind.
Connection made.
Very cool find!
