One Hit Wonder Day

[timbre4]

Love that Train song on the Real C W McCall release--"Silverton" I think it's called. And of course the sound quality on that release, as for most AG material, is perfection. Interestingly, the remake of "Convoy" has the same production team of the original almost 2 decades earlier, many of the same band members, and what appears to be relatives of the original backup vocalists

Silverton - just sent my son the YouTube link, if he knew about it, he never told me. He rode the Durango-Silverton narrow gauge train as part of TRAINS Magazine photo charter about a month ago. (I rode it about 10 years ago) I drove into town and we stayed in Silverton overnight. He rode the train back to Rockwood and I picked him up there. Beautiful rugged country for sure.

Mouse & The Traps A PUBLIC EXECUTION

Kraftwerk - Autobahn

I don't recall that (or any other track) being released as a single (in North America at least) but they sure did have a string of hit albums. I first heard of them with "Trans-Europe Express". I thought that it sounded rather cool. Their style of music does become a bit monotonous after prolonged listening, but is fantastic in smaller doses!

I chose this version because of Honey Lantree's devastating look she gives at 1:45:



RIP, Honey

Jimmy Smith - Walk On The Wild Side

A jazz tune that crossed over to pop...

Here's another 'one hit wonder' (in the USA at least); Focus' "Hocus Pocus".

I never get tired of this song. One of the best ever, especially this long version. It also is a great song to drive by.
