After Scandal disbanded she set out on a solo career that saw her hit the charts with The Warrior and Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough with Don Henley.

TUNES: Uncovered ·

One of Elvis' more rocking tunes, One Night (With You), was a hit for the singer in 1957. Written by Dave Bartholomew, Pearl King, and Anita Steinman, it was an R&B hit for Smiley Lewis in 1956. Elvis took the original lyrics, made a few small but weighty changes, and the rest is history.

Good Question - Catcher In The Rain

TUNES: Uncovered ·

2024/06/15

1986 was a very good year for Memphis music. You could hear a different AMAZING band just about every night in a local club. Good Question was undoubtedly one of those bands. While a part of Memphis will remember "Jane" my favorite track off of their 1986 Thin Disguise album is Catcher in the Rain. From the catchy chorus to the solid production, it's one of my all time favorite songs. Find the album online and buy it, you will not be disappointed.

John Kilzer - Memory In The Making

TUNES: Uncovered ·

2024/06/01

In our second of a four part series on Memphis music, we put the spotlight on John Kilzer. John first came to the attention of the Memphis public, at least the sporting public, as a Memphis Tiger, playing on the basketball team. After a stint as an English teacher he decided music was the path forward for him. And bot, are we glad he did. Memory In The Making, both the song and album, were incredibly well done. We miss John but hopefully this song will bring back a memory for you.

The Jayhawks - Blue

TUNES: Uncovered ·

2024/04/20

Our pick for this episode comes from the Jayhawks' 1995 album From The Green Grass. The song is Blue. If George Harrison had been into Americana music he could have written this song. Pop sensibilities along with a catchy chorus, smart lyrics, and layered vocals makes for a memorable tune. As soon as you hear the song you'll swear you've heard it before but can't remember where.

Gino Vannelli - Nightwalker

TUNES: Uncovered ·

2024/04/06

Take yourself back to the late 70's. Open collar shirts, gold chains and smooth music you listen to in your Camaro with the hood art. Good times. Today's song by Gino Vannelli fits that scenario and then some. Nightwalker, off Gino's 1981 album of the same name, didn't get much airplay but is a great example of solid songwriting and production. Listen closely to the words and I think you'll enjoy the mental picture the song evokes. Gino is still touring, go see him and his
