Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “I Don’t Want To Hear It Anymore” by Dusty Springfield This record has a complete feel to it and the production values really make this Randy Newman-penned track come alive. Great song and all the production in the world wouldn’t matter if there wasn’t that voice…smoky…sultry…Dusty! Matching […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Cry Me A River” by Julie London
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Cry Me A River” by Julie London It would be hard to think of Julie London without all of the sexy cheesecake album covers, but behind all of the va-va-voom was the va-va-voice which was soft, supple and sexual. Today’s Song Of The Day was written by […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Chicken Fat” by Robert Preston
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Chicken Fat” by Robert Preston I felt the need to repost this gem today because I saw today’s Song Of The Day hawking an exercise app from Apple. It’s “Poultry in motion!” (Sadly, I didn’t write this line but it was too great to pass up.) How […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Miriam” by Norah Jones
Like Johnny Cash’s cover of “Delia” from the first “Unchained ” album, Norah Jones has recorded (and in her case written) a song that sends chills down the spine with its cool sense of detachment and cold-blooded outcome. In the case of her latest album called “Little Broken Hearts,” Brian Burton who’s also known as […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Jericho” by Rufus Wainwright
As if it weren’t enough that Obama has finally come out supporting same-sex marriage…now Rufus Wainwright is back…and in full-on ’70s pop songsmith mode with his new Mark Ronson-produced album, “Out Of The Game.” This truly is a good day for America! For those who don’t know, Mark Ronson was the guiding force behind Amy […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera
OK, this is awkward! I don’t really like much of the music I’ve heard by Maroon 5…and I do not watch “The Voice!” (I’m an “Idol” guy!) Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to the magic of this record. Great hook…one of the best I’ve heard in years…and a beat you […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston
While I was never a huge fan of Whitney Houston, it’s hard to deny that she was superbly talented. Once again, the star making machinery brought someone to the highest of highs and then seemingly jettisoned her to the gutter when the world was through with her. Whether it was Elvis, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” by Miley Cyrus
Yup…you got that right…Miley Cyrus…and not only that, but a credible cover of this Dylan classic from the just released Amnesty International 4 CD collection “Chimes Of Freedom.” At 76 tracks, this collection of Dylan covers is all over the map with as many cool additions to the canon…”Most Of The Time” by Bettye Lavette, […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Save The Country” by Laura Nyro
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Save The Country” by Laura Nyro – Laura Nyro was one of the greatest songwriters of the 1960s responsible for many hits recorded by others. Even though she will finally get her due this year by being inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame, she […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “It Must Be Him” by Vikki Carr
Ms. Carr was born Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona in El Paso Texas and was a humanitarian regularly entertaining the troops in South Vietnam. Phil Spector heard her recording her first hit, “He’s A Rebel” in the studio in 1962 and quickly cut a cover version with The Crystals bringing it to the top […]
