I don’t recall ever hearing a ballad about neon that was, essentially happy. Usually a ballad with night clubs and neon lights in the story is essentially a sad one. Like “Neon Moon”. A happy song with clubs and neon in the lyric is always uptempo, right? Until now. This is really fine. A love … Read more
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.
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
I’ve warmed to it with more listening, but it’s still feeling kinda average in me ears. The best thing about the record, really, is Zac’s smooth, familiar voice. He brings a comforting feel to table.
Admitting here, I wasn’t looking forward to listening to this after first reading the title. Immediately it conjured up images of childishness. And, she’s gorgeous, naturally, so I was thinking, hoowee, here we go again, another one’a them bein’ rolled out with another half-assed pseudo-Country mush piece and all that. So glad it surprised me. … Read more
Will it be a single?, I dunno. ‘Course she just released a fine one, so if it’s coming as a radio chart single it’ll be a long ways off. But it just blows me away and if it does you, too, then let’s get it on the air and share with the gang. It has … Read more
