Until I figured out who this was, I thought Boy With A Coin could be some of the best work ever done by Lindsey Buckingham. But this is Samuel Ervin Beam.
I’m not quite the fan as many people my age are of Prince’s music. There’s some I really like, and by far the one I like the most is U Got The Look (with Sheena Easton).
Okay, I’ll admit that I thought for decades that “Legend of a Mind” had a different title. Admit it, you thought it was “Timothy Leary”.
I have a love/ignore relationship with Blondie. There are 5 or 6 of their songs that are always welcome to my ears, including this one.
I’m finding Mattiel an easy listen. This cut is from the 2022 album, Georgia Gothic.
Patti Smith is so underrated. She’s a big part of the beginning of the punk movement. Pioneer of female rock music. An original of rock poetry.
I’ve seen Styx three times in concert, but not since 1980. For me, there’s a debate as to what their best song actually is.
I was never a big fan of Janis Joplin, but my appreciation grew once I heard Beth Hart. Immortal is just a kick ass song, and Hart has a Joplinesque quality to her voice.
The band is Phosphorescent. I did not hear Song for Zula when it came out. It’s a song about heartbreak, but if you read the comments below the video on YouTube, you see folks find it as part of their processing of grief.
Misguided Angel is one of my favorites by the Cowboy Junkies. I absolutely love how Margo Timmins’ voice connects to the guitar playing.
