Whenever I witness someone living his or her dream, I get emotional.  The road to success rarely is an easy one to travel, and those who walk it have sacrificed and dealt with setbacks that would cause those with less determination to buckle.

So, when our friend and talented musician, Allan Scott, and his band (aptly named Allan Scott Band) launched their first nationwide single "Perfect Love" last week, I was overjoyed.  Allan Scott Band will be releasing their debut album Blameless and Free on May 15, and "Perfect Love" already can be bought on iTunes and previewed in its entirety on the band's website.

You could argue that I'm biased (because I am), but let me say this: they're excellent.  I've listened to "Perfect Love" on repeat, never tiring of the passionate vocals, subtly edgy melody, and powerful message.  It's the type of song that you want to get stuck in your head.
