You won't believe what's in my CD player right now!

[NightTrain]

Rhino's HAVE A NICE DAY: SUPER HITS OF THE '70s, VOLUME 11. How does this grab ya for a track listing:

1. Clint Holmes - Playground In My Mind
2. Maureen McGovern - The Morning After
3. Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell - Dueling Banjos
4. Donna Fargo - Funny Face
5. Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)
6. Gallery - Big City Miss Ruth Ann
7. Jud Strunk - Daisy A Day
8. Gilbert O'Sullivan - Get Down
9. Albert Hammond - The Free Electric Band
10. Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider
11. B.W. Stevenson - My Maria
12. El Chicano - Tell Her She's Lovely

I don't think I've listened to anything in that series (and god help me, I bought all 25 volumes as they came out!) in at least a decade. And as the disc plays, I'm beginning to remember why! :D

Now, Rhino's accompanying 20-volume series, DIDN'T IT BLOW YOUR MIND: SOUL HITS OF THE '70s, is another matter entirely! :headbang:

1. The guy in Uneasy Rider

who becomes the protagonist's dupe and starts protesting that "I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church - you can call home and ask my wife!" always makes me think of a typical freeper, sitting at his computer and posting things like "why yes, that is genuine cat fur on my truck grill".

3. What happened to Charlie Daniels

Now he is that guy from the Antioch Baptist Church.

4. I may just hit "skip" when it gets up to that track!

2. Sorry, NightTrain

I'm getting ready to write my weekly column...

5. Gilbert O' Sullivan

yuck...

[Jade Fox]

6. hey, the original "My Maria" is a great record!

Sadly, the rest of them do suck.

7. Actually, I thought the two best tracks on the CD...

...were the Deodato and El Chicano numbers.
