Only two months left of summer so let’s enjoy/endure it while listening to some of my music? What happens is that my musical device (phone) chooses 10 random tunes from my collection, I tell you what it has chosen and if you want to sing along – and who wouldn’t? – then just click on the title.
So, without further ado, let’s rock!
- Hitch A Ride by Boston. As my loyal reader will know, I have a soft spot for 1970s American rock. This, from the first Boston LP which also yielded More Than A Feeling, is a prime example!
- She’s Got A Way (live) by Billy Joel. Great live version of a lesser known belter from the Piano Man himself, Mr Joel.
- Toulouse Street by The Doobie Brothers. 50 years since the brilliant Toulouse Street was released. Here’s the title track.
- Tell The Truth by Derek and the Dominos. Given the racist, anti-vax loon he has turned into, I’m a little embarrassed I still have some of Clapton’s Music, but 1970’s Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is still his career high.
- I’ve Been Around Too Long by The Marmalade. Sounds more like Paul Rodgers/Free/Bad Company than the Marmalade. Excellent rocker from 1971’s Songs LP. The video is bonkers.
- It’s You by The Coral. Good stuff from 2016’s Distance Inbetween.
- Easy Come, Easy Go by The Sutherland Brothers. From the Scots lads who gave us the original and best version of Sailing – sorry, Rod – this is gorgeous.
- Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. Title track of the Dan’s magnificent 1974 album Pretzel Logic, oddly enough. Essential.
- Good Luck by Basement Jaxx feat Lisa Kekaula. Fabulous from 2004’s Kish Kash. You may have heard this.
- Almost There by Andy Williams. Let’s go back to…gulp!…1964 for this short and sweet beauty from Andy Williams. I loved his voice.
That’s all, folks!
