On Friday I featured an Elvis Costello track (courtesy of Dana) that he recorded with The Roots. Yesterday, the Random Weekend selection was a country cheating song by John Hiatt.
I guess those two selections were combined for today’s random selection, a country cheating song by Elvis Costello.
On very rare occasions, the Random iTunes Fairy serves up a song from my collection that I have never heard.
Those songs tend to come from my wife’s albums, or records I’ve collected over the years for free or in bargain sales and never got around to hearing.
Today’s track, from John Hiatt’s <em<Anthology collection, is an example of the former. My wife likes a John Hiatt song or two and bought this compilation at some point through the years. I doubt she’s heard it any more often than I have.
Guest blogger Dana concludes… (and thanks for taking the reins for the past two weeks!)
Well, I guess I am nothing if not predictable in placing Mr. Costello number one on my “best of” list, though there have certainly been years in the recent path where his output might not have merited such high praise.
Guest blogger Dana continues…
Truth be told, I would probably put ‘Royals’ in this spot, but, since you have already featured that one on your blog, I am going instead here with another major favorite.
I came to ‘Royals,’ like most people (other than you:-)), through radio play. But I came to discover ‘Tennis Court’ through my daughter’s obsession with Lorde and her purchase of the album (Thank you iCloud!).
Guest blogger Dana continues…
Here’s another instance where, but for you beating me to the punch, I would have put ‘Hannah Hunt’ on my “best of” list, so you can consider it added here.
However, I will also take this slot to feature another big time favorite from this great album, ‘Step.’ Another track I would throw in here for good measure would be ‘Ya Hey.’
