Throckmorton
What started out as a simple combined birthday and Christmas present from Warren Throckmorton's wife, has now become an unstoppable quest for this Ph.D .college professor and counselor. It started with just recording a few songs with close friend Rod Learned who used to play drums for the popular 80s band, Berlin. But before long, Something Different was being featured on CCM Magazine's Unsigned Artist Feature in 2002 and tearing up the internet music charts. Something Different offers a collage of blues rock and CCM pop songs which reminisce the sounds of Eric Clapton, George Harrison & BB King in musical & vocal style. The title track Different sets the lyrical theme of how we are to be different than the world when it comes to living out our faith and Throckmorton's personal thought of how its kinda different for a 45 year old college professor to be making a CCM project. Needless to say, Something Different has made its mark in the independent music world regardless of how different it is and Throckmorton proves that you don't have to be a young 20-something Nsync wanna-be to make a mark in the music industry. Since January 2001 when songs from the project were first being introduced publicly, Throckmorton's songs have been played or downloaded over 400,000 times. Eleven songs from the CD have hit #1 on one or more of the Christian or secular charts at mp3.com as well as several other internet music sites. |
