"Music washes
away from the soul
the dust of everyday life."
~ Red Auerbach
This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" continues. A reminder...songs will be from the 70s decade...but not exclusively.
Part 6 - Let's Begin...
150:-->Steve Forbert -------"Goin' Down to Laurel" (4:39) -------Alive On Arrival (1978)

Please don't mention buildings burning down."
149:-->Steve Miller -------"Sugar Babe" (4:35)------- The Joker (1973)
Great intro with a summer-sound for sure. Easily hints of tasty stuff yet to come in "Book of Dreams"?
148:-->Be-Bop Deluxe-------------"Sleep That Burns" (5:16) --------Sunburst Finish (1976)

147:-->Hot Chocolate -----"Emma" (3:55) --------Cicero Park (1974)
Wow! Incredible vocals delivering quite the tragic tale. Add some tasty train bass underneath and you have quite a dark atmosphere. Perfect!
146:-->AC/DC --------"Gone Shootin" (5:05) ---------Powerage (1978)
Dig that back-beat. Wicked axe work from the school-kid guitarist.
And Bon Scott simply feeds off the energy. Oh yeah...about a girl with a drug problem. A classic.
145:-->Jim Carroll Band ----"It's Too Late" (3:04) ----Catholic Boy (1980)
Exciting bass work screams for attention while pushing the lyrics to the danger zone. Hard to forget.
144:-->Foghat -----"Home In My Hand" (4:59) -----Energized (1974)

Getting dirty looks, I wish I could've took a train."
143:-->Frank Zappa -----"Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" (2:35) -----Joe's Garage (1979)
Juvenile, sure. But the arrangement beneath the lyrics are awesome.
Funny words but none of the seven deadlies. Love the vocals, too.
142:-->Kiss ----"Ladies in Waiting" (2:31) ----Dressed To Kill (1975)

And the meat looks good tonight."
Great song. Often forgot but has a heck of a catchy arrangement. One of Gene's better vocal outings. Nice solo from Ace as well.

Without a tear, without a frown, disappear without a trace."
All good stuff! to be continued...

Jude...Kiss will never be accused of being ...'politically correct' that's for sure!
