Monday Music Review- Jensen Ackles

Monday Music Review on Sunday? Yes, because Monday comes quickly and I want you to be prepared in the morning when you roll out of bed in need of coffee and a good tune to get you moving. So, for this blog, the Monday Music Review (which may become a regular feature) comes a day early because it’s my party. And that’s the way I want it.

Hello there, Jensen Ackles. Where did you come from and better yet, how long can you stay?

Let’s recap: Christian Kane led us to Steve Carlson. Steve Carlson has now led us to Jensen Ackles. Steve and Jensen, from what I can determine, collaborated to write a few songs including Wasted Jamie which, as it turns out, was a song about a failed blind date set-up between Steve Carlson and a girl in Vegas who turned out years later to be one of Tiger Wood’s “friends” and Where My River Flows which is quickly turning into one of my favorite songs. Jensen collaborated with some other artists too but we’ll get to those connections in the upcoming weeks. (I keep expecting Kevin Bacon to pop as these degrees of separation progress…)

Jensen Ackles had roles in Supernatural, Smallville, and Dawson’s Creek. He was also in Dark Angel and Days of Our Lives and yet, he was not on my radar. Remind me first thing in the morning to get that thing checked; it’s obviously broken.

If you YouTube Jensen, you’ll find lots of videos that have him as the eye candy but other singers as the vocals. I believe, in the above link to Where My River Flows, Jensen wrote it but Steve Carlson sings it (so you know it's gonna be good!) In his biographical information, not much is mentioned about him as a songwriter or singer but Jensen Ackles may be an up-and-comer who will be on the major league music scene soon. In the meantime, take a moment and enjoy the Jensen view. You’ll be glad you did.
