I Hear Thundermarks the long-awaited return of four-time Grammy-nominated artist 
Tab Benoit
.Renowned for his distinctive guitar tone and Otis-Redding-esque voice, Benoit has been a captivating figure in the roots music world for over thirty years.
Tab's personal growth and advancement as a songwriter and musician have culminated in a benchmark recording. His new self-produced album, I Hear Thunder, for his imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records, is a testament to his fiery exuberance that first marked his career in 1992. The record not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also his profound commitment to environmental advocacy, a legacy that extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land thatinspires his bluesy soul.
On Benoit's forthcoming national tour, fans will be delighted to hear the new songs and selected tracks from his vast catalog. Benoit does more than play the blues; he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.
Jesse Dayton
 stands as one of the most dynamic figures in modern American music, seamlessly blending Texas blues, outlaw country, and punk rock into a sound uniquely his own. Hailing from Beaumont, Texas, Dayton’s storied career spans decades and includes collaborations with legends like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, as well as modern icons such as Samantha Fish and Duff McKagan. From his days fronting the Road Kings to composing for Rob Zombie’s cult films, Dayton has built a legacy of fearless artistry and relentless energy.
His latest album, 
The Hard Way Blues
, produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart, earning acclaim for its raw storytelling and electrified guitar work. Dayton also earned a Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Samantha Fish on 
Death Wish Blues
, further cementing his place in the roots music world.
Now, Dayton embarks on a new chapter with the Texas Headhunters, a dynamic new band featuring Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, and a stellar lineup of supporting musicians. Rooted in Texas blues and honoring the rich musical history of the Lone Star State, the Texas Headhunters are set to release their debut album in 2025, bringing a fresh energy to the blues for a new generation.

时常需要出去走走

The Acropolis, perched atop a hill about 150 meters high in the heart of Athens, is visible from many parts of the city.

Originally built for defense and refuge, the Acropolis was also a place where the ancient Athenians worshipped the goddess Athena. When discussing Athenian culture, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Propylaea are essential components of the Acropolis, highlighting its importance. These sites are crucial for understanding Athenian culture and are must-sees. I visited in December, during the off-season, and both the Parthenon and the Erechtheion were under renovation and inaccessible; however, even from a distance, one could sense their former glory. Climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Athens, a dense expanse of white houses stretching as far as the eye can see. Both theaters are breathtaking. Only the buildings themselves remain on the Acropolis; a visit to the Acropolis Museum to carefully examine the preserved artifacts is highly recommended. Otherwise, you&#39;ll only be able to gaze at the columns and imagine its past glory.

Perhaps due to the off-season, there was no queue for tickets; they cost 30 euros per person. The mountain isn&#39;t high, but the wind is strong and the sun is shining brightly, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and wind; wearing sneakers is a must. Guides need to be booked in advance; there aren&#39;t many people before 10 am, so you can read the written description carefully.

Acropolis Museum

Museums

Ideally, you should climb the Acropolis in the morning and visit the Acropolis Museum in the afternoon. The museum is located a few hundred meters below the Acropolis and houses most of the Acropolis&#39;s artifacts. Viewing these artifacts will help you understand ancient Greek civilization. It&#39;s best to do some research beforehand and have some knowledge of ancient Greek history, especially the major wars and key gods.

The first floor houses artifacts excavated from numerous temples on the Acropolis hillside and from residential areas at the foot of the hill.

The second floor is the &quot;Archaic Period Art Exhibition Area,&quot; exhibiting items including the square ceiling of the Acropolis&#39;s promontory, sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike, and caryatids from the Erechtheion.

The third floor closed early that day for some reason, so I didn&#39;t see it.

During the visit, look out the windows and at the ground. The transparent glass walls offer a 360-degree view of the Parthenon and the entire city of Athens; the ground level is the archaeological site, suspended in mid-air by more than 100 concrete pillars. I recommend heading to the restaurant on the 3rd floor around sunset for a drink or a bite to eat (I recommend the spinch pie, but avoid the pre-made penach spritzer), and waiting for the Acropolis to light up. It&#39;s a truly invigorating experience.

The museum doesn&#39;t have guided tours, but the language-based guides are excellent. The free Wi-Fi provided with the guides is much better than my roaming data plan. If you have enough time, I suggest taking the 2-hour guided tour to fully appreciate the museum.

A must-see when traveling to Greece! The museum has a rich collection of treasures from the fourth century, including stone carvings, pottery, bronze, gold, etc. It&#39;s worth a visit!

Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon
However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum

Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury.
1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC).
2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire).
3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin).
4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque.
5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion.
6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.
