The Everlys were on a roll, scoring numerous hits for the Cadence label including such classics as “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “All I Have […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Golden Gate Gospel Train” by Golden Gate Quartet
What we have here is some prehistoric Doo Wop for you Sunday morning revelers. The Golden Gate Quartet consisted of Orlandus Wilson, Willie Johnson, Henry Owens and Clyde Riddick and started out as a Barbershop Quartet in Virginia back in the early 1930s. The group began performing for audiences and soon migrated to North Carolina […]

Song Of The Day – “One Of These Nights” by The Eagles
I don’t really like The Eagles. I always got the feeling that they really didn’t like each other, and through the years and many over-priced reunions later we’ve come to find that they really didn’t like each other much anyway. As for their sound, The Byrds and Burritos got there first and did it much […]
Song Of The Day – “Walk Like A Giant” by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
At the beginning of “Year Of The Horse,” the live Neil Young and Crazy Horses album from 1996, a fan yells “It all sounds the same!” to which Neil Young responds “It’s all one song.” No truer words have been uttered by the artist himself to describe his latest offering, the somewhat turgid “Psychedelic Pill.” […]
