5/17/24

iPod on Shuffle:
Hard Time Blues- James Cotton
With A Little Help From My Friends/Nowhere Man- Jeff Lynne
California Dreaming- The Mamas & The Papas
Dirty Old Town- The Pogues
This Is The One- Thin Lizzy
Careless Hands- Barbara Lynn & Lee Maye
Love's A Mystery- The Tubes
The Truth Is Plain To see- Freedom
Withered On The Vine- Nick Lowe
Going To The River- Snooks Eaglin
I Like The Way You Groove Me- Frederick Knight
Naked Eye (Olympic Sound Version)- The Who

Whitesnake- Saints & Sinners
(I can't recall ever hearing this record and certainly didn't realize "Here I Go Again" was here five years before the hit. Good rock record! And I think this version of "Here I Go Again" is better. Less bombast.)

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers- You're Gonna Get It
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros- Streetcore

The Kinks- Soap Opera

(I've been a fan of this record for a while, but I have really fallen in love with it this week. This new remaster I just picked up to replace my well worn OG is certainly helping matters.

Rebirth Brass Band- Feel Like Funkin' It Up
(Just in from the Tipitina's Record Club. Great release!)

Todd Rundgren- Todd
The Roches- S/T

Pretenders- II
(I hated this record when it came out. How do you follow up that debut? "Zep 2" would have been a crap follow up. This one aged really well. And maybe I did, too!)




Big Black- Atomizer
(Steve Albini is overrated. So is Kurt Cobain. So are Big Black. )

Raspberries- Cleveland Rocks (Personal Playlist)

(Needs an edit.)

This is it:
Go All The Way
Play On
Last Dance
Party's Over
Nobody Knows
Should I Wait
Tonight
Let's Pretend
On The Beach
I Wanna Be With You
I Can Remember
Ecstasy
If You Change Your Mind
I Saw The Light
Starting Over
Don't Want To Say Goodbye
Making It Easy
Overnight Sensation

I'm thinking "I Saw The Light" and "Making It Easy" need to go, and possibly a resequencing since the second half has three ballads.
(And don't even think about removing "Last Dance!")
