'My Rules': 14 modern songs with a message for youths

Click Here to listen to this week's podcast.

Positive music can inspire, heal, uplift and enlighten. That's what Craig Clifford and Aaron Edson have always believed, and now they've released "My Rules" — a new album of 14 original pop, rock and hip-hop songs that intend to prove it.

In this audio interview, Clifford and Edson talk about creating an album of modern music that encourages kids to live more hopefully, purposefully and honorably, while enjoying the styles and beats they love. You'll hear their philosophy of music, and don't miss my favorite of the bunch, "Something Sacred," which, as Clifford says, "I can't believe has never been written before."

That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
