THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
BROWNSVILLE STATION...Yeah  (1973)
Yeah was released 40 years ago in 1973 and it reached number 98 on the U.S. Billboard album charts.  Everybody and their momma has heard the huge single release from this album "Smokin' In The Boys Room" (yes, they did this song long before Motley Crue did).  It rocks, for sure.  Other highlights include "Barefootin" and "Take It Or Leave It".  8 of these tracks are covers while the other 2 are originals.  I'll give this a 3 out of 5 stars.  It's a good record, I recommend it.  It's not groundbreaking by any means, it's just a good solid rock album.  Unfortunately, Brownsville Station would never achieve this type of success ever again
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you
have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
