Steve It’s been on the desks of radio programmers for a month now and hasn’t yet shown on the national airplay charts. A bit surprising to me because it is quite smooth on the ears and has some solid character to it. The song is easy to like, easy to tap the toes to.
Sounds just like Phil Vassar on this, don’t he? With maybe a little “Piano Man” Billy Joel sprinkled in there. I’m adding this one early ‘cause of two things. First, I totally underestimated the appeal and staying power of his first single. Second, he’s pulling ‘em in on his concert tour.
Adding here with great misgivings. This is about as far away from Country as a girl can get. If it hadn’t sold over a hundred thousand singles in it’s first week, I’d be even more inclined to hold back on it. Sure, young women will go crazy for it, but it’s a Pop/Disco record, complete … Read more
I put this into hefty rotation on my web station about 10 days ago and now gotta say it sounds good next to everything else in the library. I ‘spect it’ll have a good 22+ week run, making it a solid candidate for the “summertime soundtrack” song of this year.
Have heard it four times now and it’s a maybe. She’s got an ex-old man and an ex-best girlfriend, that’s the story. The record’s put together, wrapped up in an attractive package with a nice bass thump holding it up start to finish.
Ah, yes, that’s the name of the record label. Ok, that aside, I like the Abbot band and I like the way this begins, but so far it’s not sticking with me. A few more listens may get it to ticklin’ my ears
It’s becoming one of my favorites now, probably the best song on the stack now under consideration for add. It reminds me a lot of some of the good work of the Folk/Rock bands of the late 70s.
It’s a summertime ballad and, given the slowness of the charts, releasing it now is perfect timing. If it’s a hit, it should then be moving into the airplay Top 10 along about June. Pretty good record, Luke’s got some character in his voice that instantly communicates “Country” when the listener’s scan button stops on … Read more
Yes, I do have misgivings about adding songs to the playlist by teenaged boys who are oh, so very very cute. I’m one of those Luddites who’s most displeased with the way we’ve evolved to a place where now the pretty face is the principle factor is whether or not an aspirant gets a record … Read more
It was on the Currents list as an album cut for 10 weeks, then I moved it to Edge/Album rotation in mid-January. Officially the next radio single now, I’m putting it back into recommended Current. Lots of music fans know Bruce has a new album coming out next month, plenty of chatter about it in … Read more
