Four Play highlights and track listings for Tuesday 21st October.
First up tonight, we started with an icon of the eighties, Bruce Springsteen. Born Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen in September 23, 1949, he has recorded and toured with the E Street band and is widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics and Americana sentiments.
Track 1: Dancing in the Dark
Track 2: Born in the USA
Track 3: Streets of Philadelphia
Track 4: Glory Days
Next up tonight, our special guest Grant, showcased for us, an interesting alternative country singer called Neko Case. Born in September, 1970 in Virginia in the USA. She primarily performs her own marterial, but also performs and has recorded cover versions of songs by other country artists.
She is protective of her artistic independence and has spurned offers from major record labels because they dont offer her enough control of her music.
Track 1: Deep Red Bells
Track 2: Hold On, Hold On
Track 3: Train from Kansas City
Track 4: Mood to Burn Bridges
A podcast of what Grant had to say about Neko is available.
Our next artist is another icon of the 70's and 80's. A rock group from England who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. Most famous for their style of pop song with heavily classical overtones, and driven almost completely by one of their founders Jeff Lynne, who wrote and arranged all the groups orginal music. We are talking about the Electric Light Orchestra or "ELO".
Track 1: Livin' Thing
Track 2: Shine A Little Love
Track 3: Last Train to London
Track 4: Don't Bring me Down
Now ELO were one of the most successful bands of the 1970's without ever actually topping the charts. BUT... they did have a number one with the title track to the soundtrack for the film "Xanandu". ELO wrote and co-performed ALL the music on that movie.
So stay listening, we'll be showcasing a Xanadu four play NEXT WEEK.
Finally tonight, we took a step back into the 60's with a group that was incredibly successful, almost despite them continually breaking up and never being in the right place at the right time. We are talking about the phenomenal Simon and Garfunkel.
Track 1: The Sound of Silence
Track 2: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Track 3: I Am a Rock
Track 4: Cecilia
Thanks for listening, hope you enjoyed the show and of course you can always let us know if YOU have an idea for a Four Play. Just email away.
Have a great week!
Chris and Jay.
