Pete Townshend - "The Sea Refuses No River"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/12/01

Pete Townshend’s 3rd solo album was a divisive record; many critics called it pretentious, over-thought, and an "ambitious failure". But it contains at least two Townshend masterpieces, including “The Sea Refuses No River”, a song with deep spiritual meaning to Townshend. This episode, we explore this eloquent, graceful classic.

Fanny - "Cat Fever"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/11/15

When it comes to boundaries, Fanny faced them all: racial, gender & sexual discrimination were all obstacles that stood in their way. Fanny may be forgotten by many today, but they were one of the most important all-female bands in rock history, paving the way for groups like The Go-Go's, Bangles, and The Runaways. It's time to acknowledge the groundbreaking history made by these 4 women and the great music they left behind. "Cat Fever" (Nickey Barclay) Copyright 1971 -- There's never been a better

In The Groove - The Vinyl Record and Turntable...

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/11/01

Vinyl records have made quite a comeback in recent years, entrancing new listeners and old fans all over again. "In The Groove" is a brand-new book, hot off the press, that's a celebration of the vinyl record and the artwork & technology that surround it, as well as the record stores and dedicated fans that have built a community around buying, collecting and listening to them. On this episode, I'm joined by the man who put the book together, Dennis Pernu, to discuss this beautiful tome that should

Bloodrock - "D.O.A."

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/10/15

Welcome to our 2nd Annual Halloween episode! This time we're exploring the gory details of "D.O.A." by Bloodrock, one of the most gruesome songs to ever make the charts. In predictable fashion, a song almost designed to get banned from radio & freak out your parents in the '70's, the song became a Top 40 hit. "D.O.A."

Bettye LaVette - "I Still Want To Be Your Baby"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/10/01

Bettye LaVette is the epitome of perseverance. She cut her first record in 1962 at the age of 16, but it took over 40 years before she received the recognition and respect she deserved. In between, she weathered every injustice that the music business threw at her. But she never gave up, she never stopped working, she never stopped singing... in fact, she just got better. Bettye is more than just a singer; she's an interpreter who can transform any song into something new & special. On this episode,

Keyboardist Barry Andrews was out and new guitarist Dave Gregory came onboard for XTC's 3rd album, Drums And Wires, as the band's sound palette expanded. Written & sung by bassist Colin Moulding, "Making Plans For Nigel" became XTC's first big hit. This episode, we explore the production, performance and the origin of this XTC classic.

Be-Bop Deluxe - "Sleep That Burns"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/09/01

Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bill Nelson combined Prog Rock, Glam and Art Rock into the unique sound that was Be-Bop Deluxe. They were musically adventurous, but always maintained a strong sense of melody and a memorable hook or two, as evidenced by this track from their 3rd album "Sunburst Finish", released in 1976.

Paul McCartney - "Back On My Feet"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/08/15

In the late 1980's, Paul McCartney took a shot at writing some songs with Elvis Costello. The ultimate result was a set of 15 songs, some of them never seeing the light of day until years later. But "Back On My Feet" was the first song that was released, buried as a B-side on the "Once Upon A Long Ago" single. It deserved better. Here, we explore the song in detail and shine a light on this overlooked gem. "Back On My Feet" (Paul McCartney & Declan MacManus) Copyright 1989 MPL Communications

Black Sabbath - "Spiral Architect"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/08/01

Black Sabbath were at a standstill when it came time to make their 5th album. The ideas just weren't coming to guitarist Tony Iommi, and without his massive guitar riffs… well, there just wasn't any Black Sabbath. Weeks were wasted in the studio until he stumbled onto the riff that became "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", and then they were off to the races. That song became the opening cut from the album that would bear its name; and the song that would bring that album to a close is "Spiral Architect",

Queen - "Somebody To Love"

2023/07/15

Queen were at the top of their game and weren’t resting on their laurels when they released “Somebody To Love” as a single in 1976. Building on the layered vocals they pioneered on “Bohemian Rhapsody” the year before, “Somebody To Love” was inspired by Freddie’s love for Aretha Franklin. On this episode, we examine the various elements of this outstanding track. “Somebody To Love” (Freddie Mercury) Copyright 1976 Queen Music Ltd.

Starbelly - "This Time"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/07/01

Never heard of Starbelly? You should have. But it's not your fault. There was a bit of a resurgence of "power pop" bands in the late-90's/early 2000's that generated a lot of GREAT albums, but, for some inexplicable reason, not much commercial breakthrough (Fountains Of Wayne being one of the few exceptions). Starbelly's debut album "Lemon Fresh" was simply brilliant, and it's one of my favorite records. On this episode, we dive into "This Time", the song that opens this album, along with a special

The Shazam - "On The Airwaves"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/06/01

When The Shazam tumbled out of Nashville in 1994, they should've landed as one of the biggest rock bands in America. Instead, they merely left us with 5 fantastic albums of hard-rocking power pop that lodged them on my list of all-time favorite bands. If you've never heard them before, here's your chance to discover their greatness with a song called "On The Airwaves" - officially certified one of the Coolest Songs In The World.

Gary Moore - "Over The Hills and Far Away"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/05/15

Gary Moore was never a household name, but among guitar players, he was a legend. He reinvented himself multiple times over his 40-year career: first as a hard-rocker with Thin Lizzy, then a jazzy prog-rocker with Colosseum in the 70’s; pioneering a modern heavy-metal sound in the 80’s, and playing the blues in the ‘90’s. On this episode, we delve into a track from his 1987 Celtic-flavored hard rock album, Wild Frontier. “Over The Hills and Far Away” (Gary Moore) Copyright 1986 EMI 10 Music Ltd. All

Thin Lizzy - "Dancing In The Moonlight"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/05/01

Thin Lizzy is known for their hard rockin’ songs and their trailblazing twin guitar sound, but vocalist/bassist/songwriter Phil Lynott had an ear for melody, a way with words, and could write a damn fine pop song when he wanted. “Dancing In The Moonlight” has everything you want in a great Thin Lizzy song: fantastic guitar playing, wonderful lyrics, and Lynott’s one-of-a-kind voice—he could sound tough as nails, but sensitive & vulnerable, too. Let’s give this one a spin. "Dancing In The Moonlight"

Nazareth - "Holiday" (with guest Robert Lawson)

2023/04/15

If you're looking for a prime example of a hard-working, dues-paying, doggedly dedicated rock band, you won't find better one than Nazareth. Launching in 1968 and continuing through today, Nazareth rode the wave of success up and down over 50 years, peaking with their classic album "Hair Of The Dog" in 1975. The last time they hit the charts was with the song "Holiday" in 1980. On this episode, we tap into this classic track. And, with the help of author Robert Lawson, we take a quick tour of the

2023/04/01

We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest live albums of all time, Deep Purple's "Made In Japan". This is a truly live album-- no doctored-up, overdubbed fixes here, just a killer band at the top of their game, tearing through a live set with little thought to the recording process. They thought this album would only be released to a limited audience in Japan... turned out to be a huge hit and the ultimate Deep Purple album.

Rush - "The Camera Eye"

2023/03/15

In 1981, Rush had planned to release a live album, but riding a wave of good vibes & inspiration, they changed their minds and decided to record an album of new material instead. It turned out to be their best-selling album, and years later the band would still look back on it fondly. Most of their biggest hits are on this album titled Moving Pictures, but this episode we're turning our ears on a lesser-known (but fan favorite) track, "The Camera Eye".

Back on Episode 25, we listened to 5 of my favorite guitar solos; here on Episode 125, we revisit that idea and listen to some more great guitar moments. As before, I’m not saying these are the greatest solos of all time-- a great solo doesn’t have to be flashy or technically brilliant, but it does have to be memorable, it has to fit the song, and it should take the song to another level.

Etta James - "Love's Been Rough On Me"

I"m In Love With That Song Podcast ·

2023/02/14

Etta James lived quite a life; some incredible highs and heartbreaking lows throughout her 73 years. From hit songs to heroin addiction, from critical acclaim to violence and bad behavior & jail time, Etta experienced it all. And you could hear every bit of that experience in her voice. I've wanted to feature Etta on this podcast for a while; the easy choice would be to pick one of her early classic songs... but instead, let's listen to an overlooked track from late in her career, when she might
