184: Highway to Hell
Despite the allusion in the title, today’s song has no spiritual content or religious references. It’s just a description of life on the road with a hard rock band that’s paying its dues. And, as the…
183: Diss Tracks
And once again my voice has a case of Peter Brady. I need to quit recording late at night. We have a variety of diss tracks here for you, all but one of them dating back to before they were even…
182–Old Man
Today’s episode is about a song that was written just up the hill from where I was born and in the same town where my wife and and I were wed. So it most definitely “strikes close to home.” Neil…
179: Influential Women, Pt. 4–Pattie Boyd
Ladies and Gentlemen, the queen of them all. Pattie Boyd was the inspiration for a huge number of songs. Some of them went to the top of the charts, some of them weren’t released as singles, but…
167: Without You
One of my favorite titles for an album comes from The Animals. They did a bunch of albums up to 1969, then for a year or two there were a couple of compilation albums after they broke up. But in…
165: If You Could Read My Mind (featuring Mike Messner)
You might remember a few episodes back when I teamed up with Mike Messner. He’s the host of the Gordon Lightfoot appreciation podcast Carefree Highway Revisited. Well, Mike is back, and this time…
160: Failing Upward, Vol 2
Pardon my allergies; I’ve sounded kind of rough for a week or so. There was a lot of throat-clearing to edit out of this one. I can’t even blame the Southern Studio on this one; it’s the direct…
152: Sundown (with guest Mike Messner)
This episode is a special one, boys and berries. Mike Messner, from the podcast Carefree Highway Revisited, joined me a few weeks ago to talk about the Gordon Lightfoot hit “Sundown.” “Sundown”…
151: More Obscure Christmas
Oh, I do enjoy breaking format once in awhile to do special episodes like this one. For this year’s Christmas episode, I return to the songs that you don’t seem to hear on the radio when the…
149: Musical Hookers
This whole episode came about because of a request by someone who wanted to hear the story behind a song. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot to it, but it got me thinking about other songs with similar…
148: Another Chat With John Hall
John Hall, you may remember from a couple of episodes ago, is the founder of the band Orleans. He recently released a solo album, his seventh (if you count the John Hall Band material). After…
145: I Honestly Love You
Original cover photo by awatif abdulaziz on Scopio Olivia Newton-John was already a pretty big star by the time 1974 rolled around, but she still hadn’t scored a Number One hit. Then along…
144: Everlasting Love
The interesting thing about this song is that it was written for a specific singer. That said, it’s been a pretty big hit for many different artists over the years. “Everlasting Love” was written…
