Time to cleanse the palate with a catchy little Juice Newton ditty.
So what? Late 70s and 80s pop videos were the best.
I had always thought that this song was written by Dave Edmunds - turns out it was written by the pedal steel guitar player in Emmy Lou Harris' band, Hank DeVito.
#13. To: Deckard, Hank Rearden, Linda Ronstadt Fans (#6)
Were you guys into Linda Ronstadt at all?
This wasn't nearly my favorite Ronstadt ditty, but this particular LIVE performance is just spectacular. A Top 3 IMHO. Rounding out the Top 3 spectacular live performances:
Lou Reed's 'Sweet Jane' (R&R Animal), featuring Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter. Dire Straits, 'Sultan of Swing', Alchemy. (Hank, you wound up buying that CD/DVD, right?)
What a band this was! Watch/listen to how sync and tight these guys are, the joy and passion as Linda exhorts them on. No AM station would ever allow the rides and this song to go on 6 minutes. They tore it up.
Andrew Gold (had his own band, never knew how good on guitar his was, besides proficiency on piano), Kenny Edwards (under-rated vocalist, bassist), Waddy Wachtel (great long-time guitar sessions guy, still plays for Keith Richards), Dan Dugmore (pedal steel), Brock Walsh (keyboards) and Mike Botts ( drummer from Bread.)
