1). "Love Me to Tonight" by HEAD EAST
.......great little seventies song that broke out a band that no one had heard of....they went farther....and had something called "Never Been any Reason"....as part of the "Flat as a Pancake" album...this album went gold selling 500, 000 in three years....if A@M would have promoted the band, it would have likely sold more.2) "Cotton Fields" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
....a bit of a swampy acoustic country song with none of the iconic CCR electric guitar licks, but some electric rhythm guitar after some group harmony....more country than rock....a real slice of the the amazing diversity of Fogerty as a singer/songwriter from the Louisana deep south roots he always had somehow? (John was born and raised in California?)....3) "Rocking all over the world" by solo artist JOHN FOGERTY
...from wikipedia: "....John Fogerty began a solo career, originally under the name The Blue Ridge Rangers for his 1973 LP debut. Fogerty played all of the instruments on covers of others' country music hits, such as "Jambalaya" (which was a Top 40 hit). After performing country & western tunes he released a rock & roll single in late 1973, also as The Blue Ridge Rangers. The two John Fogerty penned songs were "You Don't Owe Me" and "Back In The Hills" (Fantasy F-710).In early 1974 John Fogerty released two rock & roll tunes on a 7"-single. The two songs were the vocal "Comin' Down The Road" b/w the instrumental "Ricochet". His second solo album John Fogerty was released in 1975. Sales were slim and legal problems delayed a followup, though it yielded "Rockin' All Over the World", a top 40 hit for Fogerty in North America. Two years later, in 1977, British boogie rockers Status Quo recorded their version of Rockin' All Over the World, which became a huge hit and made the song world-famous, not least by opening 1985's Live Aid with the song that had become one of their best-known anthems......"
4) "Tumbleweed" by little Miss TONI PRICE from The "Hey" album
.....great opening with the violin used so well and perfect on so many of Toni's iconic songs.....a little back up vocals from Scrappy Jud?.....a sad song written by Qwil Owen (Toni's favorite writer)....5) "Opportunity" by Elivis Costello from the "Get Happy" album
......this album was one of the best albums recorded in the 80's....just listen to the whole album...6) "Stephanie Says" by Velvet Underground on the "V U" album
...this is...a fantastic album...and has to be heard to be believed....Lou Reed at his best...an all around perfect album....shocking in it's originality....a must have for those looking for new tunes....also, play "Temptation inside of your heart"....7) "Daylight" by Toni Price from the "Swim Away" album
......shows the range of Toni's trained voice...as she can carry a note as far as it has to go.....a bluesy electric honestly desperate song....worthy of your time to listen to the entire album....8) "Dance, Dance, Dance" by an old guitar, stud, song writer named Steve Miller....this song will really surprise you if you like to hear the tonal qualities of a pedal steel quitar.... a little country music in your life leads to Miller's funny way of creating memorable sniglets like "The Pompidous of Love" or "...you're my honey pumpkin lover, you're my last desire..."....
it has the sound and lyrics of a first class country song...I remember playing this song for an insufferable, red neck, son of a bitch who I had the misfortune of working with "fixing defects in mobile homes" back in my Texas days...and, the dude was gob smacked at how good this song was?9) "Pray for me" by the ineffable, "The Jayhawks" Tomorrow the Green Grass album...
.........from Minneapolis, Minnesota....if you haven't heard "Tomorrow the Green Grass" album, then....Grooveshark lets you listen free...just figure out how to click on the name of the album, then...to the upper left...click "play all"...if you here this album, you will buy it...guarantee it.10) "Good Morning Star Shine" from The HAIR broadway musical album.....so many great songs on this album....perfect vocals...and...hey...
.........it was The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius...so....you really should listen to the entire album....listen to "Where do I go?".....
