Greetings pop-pickers and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle.
Ten more songs from my collection which are selected at random by my music device. I then tell you what it has chosen and all you have to do is click on the song title and listen – and even sing – along.
I hope you enjoy the music and find something you like. ‘Ere we go, 2-3-4.
- Blind Bats And Swamp Rats by Gregg Allman. Gregg’s final album, Southern Blood, released in 2017, was an excellent career closer. Great track.
- The Wrongest Thing In Town by Electric Soft Parade. This excellent band from Brighton were doomed the moment I said they were the next big thing. They should have been. This joint from 2003’s American Adventure.
- Unlikely Force by BNQT. Completely forgot I had this. What a fabulous rediscovery. Their 2017 long player of the same name will be getting a full play today. Bit of a supergroup, this.
- I Wish by Stevie Wonder. Back to 1976 for a classic track from the truly great Songs In The Key Of Life album. The stuff of genius.
- Old Folks Boogie by Little Feat. Brilliant music, very funny lyrics by this great band. Buy Time Loves A Hero, released in 1977.
- 20th Century boy by T. Rex. IMHO, Marc Bolan was already on the slide when he released this song in 1973. I mean, it’s decent, but Hot Love, Get It On and Ride A White Swan it ain’t.
- All I Need by Air. And now we go back to, incredibly, 1998 with this beauty from the French duo’s epic long player Moon Safari. Again, buy this album.
- Therapy by Little Simz. Well, this is brilliant, from her 2019 LP Grey Area. What a talent.
- Rhythm Is Gonna Get You by Gloria Estefan. 1987 for this banger by Ms Estefan, from her album Let It Loose.
- The Second Arrangement by Steely Dan. An outtake from the band’s magnificent 1980 record Gaucho. How could something so good be an outtake?
Wow! What a shuffle. This week’s Desert Island Disc is The Second Arrangement by Steely Dan, even if it’s incomplete in so many ways. Best band ever.
See you next time.
