Sir Douglas Quintet
"Who'll Be The Next In Line"

Remake of an old Kinks single. A very rare example of a cover outdoing the Kinks' original

The Nashville Ramblers - "The Trains" (1986)

The first time I heard this track I listened to nothing else for two days. I just played it over and over and over...

LINK
quote:

Ladies and germs what I'm presenting you with this evening is an unheralded classic. A gem. A pearl. A Nugget of pure gold. A record so intrinsically dazzling and utterly persuading that it renders the vast majority of singles that came before or after as sub par at best. If you're familiar with "The Trains" by The Nashville Ramblers you certainly don't need to hear any more of my platitudes or superlatives, as you've no doubt ascertained the quality and gratification of the 180 seconds or so it encompasses.
quote:

Aided and abetted by ace producer MARK NEILL (Black Keys), the band expertly channeled their key influences—Beatles, Remains, Hollies, Everly Brothers, and others—and shaped them into something fresh, urgent and breathtakingly original. A heart-stopping melody, evocative lyrics, a driving beat, soaring harmonies, a dynamic, reverb-soaked production—to hear “The Trains” was to fall in love with it.

Chicago - Never Been In Love Before

Most know the second single from the VIII album (Old Days) but the first single - Harry Truman - was a horrible choice. This would have been much better


Robbie Williams - Pretty Woman

Not much success in the US except some early stuff. This was co-written with Ed Sheeran and should've been released as a single in Europe for sure

The Long Ryders - "Looking for Lewis and Clark"

This actually made the UK Top 20. But nothing here.

The Long Ryders - "State Of My Union"

This should be sung nightly at every beer joint in the South

In a just world, this would have been the biggest hit of 1990.

"Cherokee" by John Moreland

LINK

I've really been listening to alot of John Morelands music lately.

"You Don't Care For Me Enough To Cry" is another one of his that should have been huge IMO.

LINK

The man's lyrics and voice truly touch my heart and soul!

"Your Spell"

The Pleasure Seekers - "Never Thought You'd Leave Me"

IMHO the first great record by an all-female rock and roll band
