Excerpt from my latest playlist

No, this isn’t the Friday Music Shuffle. It’s a shuffle from a playlist I made yesterday afternoon. I thought, I’ll make a playlist of some of my favourite songs which ended up 133 tracks strong. This is happening live, here and now. Strap in and enjoy the ride.

Click on the title and join in the ‘fun’.

1. All Alone In The End Zone by Jay Ferguson. Who’s Jay Ferguson? Only the lead singer of Jo Jo Gunne, that’s who (ask your grandparents, kids). This is the wonderful title track of his greatest album.
2. You Can Make Me dance, Sing Or Anything by The Faces. Simply the best thing Rod Stewart has ever done, bar nothing.
3. Spanish Sea by Toto. Some production genius here with an old unreleased Toto tune featuring members from the latest incarnation, like Joseph Williams, and even those, like Jeff Porcaro, who are no longer with us.
4. Visibility Zero by Kansas. Still pounding out the prog rock, this is from 2017’s brilliant The Prelude Implicit.
5. No Time To Play by Guru feat, Ronny Jordan and D.C. Lee. Well, this is magnificent.
6. It Changes by Amber Arcades. Who says women can’t rock?
7. Chinatown by The Move. Peak Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne, who both sing on this classic.
8. Hail Mary by Michael McDonald. The greatest blue-eyed soul singer of them all from 2017’s Wide Open long player.
9. Christian Island by Gordon Lightfoot. Back to 1972 and my favourite Gord tune from his Don Quixote album.
10. Border Town by The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. When you put together a band with a bloke who wrote songs for The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt,  a Byrd and a Buffalo Springfield member, you get this. Lovely.
11. Lonely No More by Rob Thomas. One of my favourite singers, who usually plies his trade in Matchbox Twenty, this is from his 2005 album Something To Be.
12. Sundown by Eddie Chacon. Title track from the best album of 2023. Pure summer music.
13. King Of The Kerb by Echobelly. Jesus, back to 1995. I love that guitar sound so much.
14. Night by Louis Cole. Listen to this, tell me you don’t love it and I won’t believe you.
15. Falling Thunder by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. Gorgeous jingle-jangle guitar from the Aussies’ brilliant 2020 LP Sideways To Italy.

Well, that was fun, at least for me. Did you find anything you liked?
