2024/10/31

For the final “regular” epipod of Finest Worksongs, we finally tackle a subject that we’ve held off for so so long: the Beach Boys’ masterpiece “Pet Sounds.” It’s an album that was revolutionary for its time, and still sounds as such to this day. “Pet Sounds” was the creation of an inspired Brian Wilson, who dreamed, envisioned and ultimately crafted the album to his desires with the help of The Wrecking Crew (and NOT his band mates). When the rest of the band finally arrived, Brian “just” needed

126. Hall & Oates – Rock 'n' Soul Part 1

2024/10/03

Very few duos - sorry, they told us they don't like to be called that!-- have achieved as much commercial success as Daryl Hall and John Oates. (Don't even THINK of referring to them as "Hall & Oates, by the way.) With a run really beginning in the mid-1970s through the '80s, these two Philly natives ruled the airwaves with their "Blue-Eyed Soul"-infused brand of pop and rock. Their "best of" compilation, the optimistically titled "Rock 'n Soul Part 1," is an essential addition to anyone's music

Bruce Springsteen – Born to Run

2024/07/02

It’s hard to imagine, but there was a time when Bruce Springsteen wasn’t “The Boss.” In fact, there was a time where he was on the verge of being just a nobody, just another regional musician, trying to make it around New Jersey and New York. But like so many things orbiting Springsteen, there’s a legend to the story. With his breakthrough album “Born to Run,“ Springsteen won over the critics and the fans alike. In the process, he unleashed onto the world perhaps his most seminal song— the album
