Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp
Posted 2 years ago by chriscavas:
Long ago I worked an overnight disc jockey shift at a radio station in Maryland. The night DJ broadcast all alone from the transmitter located in a field by the towers, A girlfriend sometimes came up to keep me company during the long shift. When she'd head out for a long drive home about ODarkThirty I liked to play this song for her to listen to as she drove away. This song always brings that time back for me. She was a good friend

Great under-rated band. Probably their best album too
I'm A Man - Chicago

Waaayyyy back in the last century one of the bands I played with often used this as an opening warmup song - great vibe, great rhythms, let everyone get in a good groove. Still takes me back!
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Many years ago I was out on a pier in San Diego early on a sunny Monday morning wben an assault ship passed by on its way to sea to begin a deployment. While homecomings can be raucous, ships leaving to deploy often do so with little fanfare. But wafting from this 40,000-ton warship as it glided by was the unmistakably threatening sound of Kashmir booming from the 1MC announcement system as the crew manned the rails. Never has a song seemed more appropriate
Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris

Fabulous album, produced by Daniel Lanois - who by the by should be played on RP if not already
Witchi-Tai-To - Jim Pepper

Loved this when it came out, still sounds wonderful - gkad it hasn't completely disappeared into the never-played past. Brewer & Shipley did a great version as well - I remember them saying they learned it the same way the rest of us did, just listening to the radio.
This Masquerade - Leon Russell

Beautiful song with so many beautiful versions. My fave remains Helen Reddy's version. Yes - really!
The Hey Boys - Herb Pedersen

This is a great little song, but after hearing The Dillards do it on Wheatstraw Suite, no other version can cut it
Dont Let It Bring You Down - Neil Young

Another example of a great song that others have performed far better. Annie Lennox' version is superb.
