Loved this song from the first time I heard it, and so I gave 1972 a spin at the record store to see how the rest of the album was.
Was not as impressed by the balance of tunes on it. Too bad--if the rest was this innovative, he'd have a hot property there...
Did I judge it too quickly? Has any one out there heard more off of this disk that is also good?
One of my alltime favorite FM songs. Loved the version on "The Dance," and happy to hear a studio version on "Say You Will, though the live one is supreme.
Hiatt can TOO sing..see him in concert with the Goners, they will rock your socks off. This is not the best song to judge him from....not one of his best, that's for sure.
My sister cracked me up when she admitted she thought Bowie was singing,"Fame. F**ing A, F***ing A, F***ing A." One of my favorite misunderstood lyrics ever.
And Thin White Duke-era Bowie ROCKED!
Way to go , Bill! Shannon is a real talent. This album was produced by her label mate - Charlie Sexton. His new album "Cruel & Gentle Things" is wonderful. Check it out!
I second that opinion on the Charlie Sexton album. It's awesome. Shannon's album is ok, but not spectacular.
Never feel guilty for listening to the Finn brothers!
