Song Of The Day – “Groovy Movies” by The Kinks
The Great Lost Kinks Album isn’t really The Great Lost Kinks Album. That distinction goes to Reprise Records RS-6309 which would have been released in late 1967 or early 1968 as Four More Respected Gentlemen. But for reasons unknown, that record was never released and ultimately its best tracks finally saw the light of day […]

Song Of The Day – “That’s Rock ‘n Roll” by Eric Carmen
Eric Carmen was one of the prime purveyors of 1970s power pop with his group Raspberries and their hits “Go All The Way,” “I Wanna Be With You,” “Let’s Pretend” and “Overnight Sensation (Hit Record).” With the breakup of Raspberries in 1975, producer Jimmy Ienner brought Carmen to the fledgling Arista record label where, under […]
Song Of The Day – “When My Man Comes Home” by Brittany Howard and Ruby Amanfu
Yesterday I wrote about a single from Jack White’s Third Man Record label by Gibby Haynes of The Butthole Surfers. The record was a recent release in Third Man’s “Blue Series” of 45rpm releases. Over the past few years, Third Man has released interesting one-off singles by the likes of Beck, Tom Jones, Stephen Colbert, […]
Song Of The Day – “Ballad Of Billy The Kid” (Live from C.W. Post College, 1977) by Billy Joel
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Things change… and so do opinions. Several years ago I thought that my days listening to Billy Joel were over. It had been many years since he released a record, and even many more since he released a really good record. I mistakenly passed on the Billy Joel/Elton John […]
Song Of The Day – “Midnight At The Oasis” by Maria Muldaur
You either loved it…or you completely loathed it, but there’s no doubt that if you were around in 1974, you could not avoid Maria Muldaur’s “Midnight At The Oasis.” Today’s Song Of The Day was released on Muldaur’s eponymously titled first solo album which soared all the way to the #3 position on the Billboard […]
Song Of The Day – “Love On A Two Way Street” by Boz Scaggs
Boz Scaggs has led a dual career over the years. On one hand, he’s been a master bluesman who cut his teeth recording with the likes of Steve Miller and Duane Allman, and then there’s the silky-smooth soul man who became a platinum- plated superstar during the late ‘70s. Fortunately for his fans, both sides […]
Song Of The Day – “18th Avenue” by Cat Stevens
By 1972, not everything was moon shadows and peace trains for Cat Stevens. The bloom was off of the rose and his unease with stardom and the state of the world began to overpower his songs. Such was the world inhabited by Cat Stevens’ fourth album, Catch Bull At Four. It was a far more […]
