Most of us can probably remember the first time we fell in love with a song or an album, or were mesmerized by a live performance.<\/p>\n
Charles Kelley of Lady A was recently reminded of one of his earliest memories of falling in love with music.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember being 10 years old and my oldest brother brought Nirvana Nevermind, their first album, back from college. And he had this little Discman, and when he was gone during the day I would just go up there and listen, cause he probably would\u2019ve gotten mad that I was on his Discman while he wasn\u2019t there. And I vividly remember just sitting and just listening to that album over and over and over again. So, anytime I hear \u2018Smells Like Teen Spirit,\u2019 I\u2019m immediately teleported back there in his room, sittin\u2019 on the side of the bed just listening and pushing repeat, repeat. The sound of it blew me away. I don\u2019t know how to describe it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Whatever it was, Charles will never forget that early impression Nirvana left on him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most of us can probably remember the first time we fell in love with a song or an album, or were mesmerized by a live performance.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":30279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[879,2048,3984,3983],"class_list":["post-30632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-charles-kelley","tag-lady-a","tag-nevermind","tag-nirvana"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-12 20:39:32","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2022\/07\/charles-kelley-of-lady-a-loved-nirvana-growing-up\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30632"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30633,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30632\/revisions\/30633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
