I’ve said it to a lot and more lot of people, PlanetPootwaddle is near my favorite radio station of all time. Now, I can’t compare the pleasure I get from listening to internet radio station PlanetPootwaddle to the charge I got when listening to WLS/Chicago and WNOE/New Orleans at ages twelve to fifteen. I heard … Read more
This track from his brilliant new album just slays me. As a man and a father of now-grown sons, it’s had me thinking back, thinking about the things my boys taught me. And they taught me from the very start of their lives, as Eric’s boy is doing at age three here in this song. … Read more
Not my kind of record, she’s not my kind of singer. Power singers, stadium voices like this belong in Rock. Ann and Nancy. Pat Benatar, you know. But, but but, I know. Ever’body else loves her Carrie-ness, and like maybe she’s the whiter Beyonce. Check out the Viking dominatrix outfit she’s wearing in photo shoot … Read more
What a terrific surprise! Totally retro Country, it’s built on a two-step shuffle beat that would’ve fit into a Rockabilly set in the 50’s, or on the dance floor at Gilley’s in Urban Cowboy. The message is as simple and basic as it gets and it is absolutely timeless: I want you, I need you, … Read more
Just in, just out, it’s a killer record. The song’s got a pulsating, driving beat and when the classic voice kicks it, it’s like my ears began salivating. Henley is more than a bit of an asshole; with some very good reasons some will say, granted that. But that voice, man what piece of work … Read more
The lyric is brilliant. It’s about an ended affair, relationship, marriage, about some memories, some wishing for a do-over, some thinking about an absolute No to the thought of giving it a go again now. Great words and the girl nails it.
Finally this masterpiece will be reaching the masses of ears that still get all their new stuff from broadcast radio. I added it to my recommended playlist so long ago, I don’t remember. Could check, but ain’t important. What is important is anybody in broadcast radio who didn’t get this on the air pretty soon … Read more
An absolutely Killer record here. It ain’t the Grand Ole Opry, folks, it is pure American Pop at it’s best and I love everything about it. Here’s what can be done in three minutes. You know what’s good about that timing? It leaves when you want it to keep on going, like when mommy took … Read more
Sam Hunt showed how to do this new thang and do it right. Yeah, it’s rap but then no it’s not. Not exactly. It’s a whole lot better than rap-as-we-have-known-it. There’s a good melody weaving through this and he doesn’t sound angry or nasty. I figure folks on the far side of 40 may have … Read more
It sounded like a hit record to me from opening. It was on the list for 17 weeks and when it peaked at 33 three weeks ago and a new single was serviced in it’s place. The chart-reporter guys seemed to have had some problem with the seemingly lez-line: “I want to kiss her lips”. … Read more
