The '60s rule, of  course, since no decade in Anglospheric popular music was richer or more creative.  I say Anglospheric because great stuff came out of the U. K., Canada, and Australia. I don't know about New Zealand. But let's not ignore the cream of the '70s. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jackson Browne, The Pretender<\/a>.  This great song  goes out to Darci M who introduced me to Jackson Browne. Darci was Lithuanian. Her mother told her, "Never bring an Italian home." So I never did meet the old lady. I never met any anti-Italian prejudice on the West coast whence I hail; the East is a different story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running on Empty<\/a>. A great road song. There's nothing like the open road of the American West.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gerry Rafferty, Right Down the Line<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Baker Str<\/span><\/a>eet<\/a>. This was a big hit in the summer of '78. This one goes out to Charaine H and our road trip that summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dave Mason, Only You Know and I Know<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We Just Disagree<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

All Along the Watchtower<\/a> (2013)<\/span><\/p>\n

Roy Buchanan, Sweet Dreams<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Patsy Cline, Sweet Dreams<\/a> (1963) <\/span><\/p>\n

Orleans, Dance with Me<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Still the One<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Abba, Fernando<\/a>. I first heard this in Ben's Gasthaus, Zaehringen, Freiburg im Breisgau ,' 76-'77.  This one goes out to Rudolf, Helmut, Martin, Hans, und Herrmann, working class Germans who loved to drink the Ami under the table.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
