Lenny Kravitz

I recently have been revisiting a lot of the music I used to listen to in elementary school. This means my music library consisted of whatever my dad was playing in the car, therefore I was exposed to various Rock N Roll, R&B, soft rock, etc. One song that evokes a particular feeling of nostalgia is "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz. It was super great just driving in my car and listening to this song with the volume up. It's not chock full of symbolism or allusions to times of great struggle. Really it is a catchy song with an awesome guitar solo at 3:09, which was the coolest thing ever when I was in fourth grade. What makes this song one of my favorites is the layered guitar sound throughout the whole piece. Kravitz has a unique voice that I think meshes perfectly with the rock n roll genre. I like a couple of his other songs, but in no way do I consider myself a Lenny Kravitz expert. That said, I still think he's a pretty cool guy (he's Jewish and Christian, kind of, and African American and Bahamian with Ukrainian descent).

I chose this video because their outfits and hair are absolutely ridiculous. Oh 1993....
