Good day, all, and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle. Here, my music device selects ten songs from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. Click on the title to listen to the music and, should you wish, sing along.
I hope you find something you like.
- Anybody Wanna Take Me Home by Ryan Adams. A banger from Ryan’s 2003 album Rock N Roll.
- Lucky Star by Madonna. Back to 1983 with a lovely joint from still squeaky voiced Madge’s eponymous first album.
- Lady Adventurer by Laure Briard. Gorgeous tune from Laure’s 2023 album Ne pas trop rester bleue.
- Pink Moon by Nick Drake. Title track from Nick’s 1972 album, a genius record.
- Can We by SWV. R&B brilliance from 1997, featuring Missy Elliott.
- Loop De Loop (Flip Flop Flyin’ In An Aeroplane) by The Beach Boys. Probably not what you might expect from the Beach Boys, but it’s rather lovely.
- A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square by Ian Hunter. One of the great covers IMHO and I was privileged to see Hunter perform this at the Fleece in Bristol in 2005, as well as many more Hunter/Mott tunes.
- It Gets Better (With Time) by The Internet. From their brilliant 2018 album, Hive Mind and of course featuring the great Steve Lacy.
- Kokomo by Little Feat. No relation to the Beach Boys song of the same name. A belter from 1979’s Down On The Farm.
- Anasthasia by Deep Forest. Great stuff from their 1995 album Boheme.
Tough call for today’s Desert Island Disc but by the shortest of short heads, I’ll go for A Nightingale Sang In Nightingale Square by Ian Hunter.
Have a good week till next week.
