Chic | I Got Protection
You don’t have to like the steam hammer disco sound of chic. But: The groove that the band around guitarist Nile Rogers and bassist Bernard Edwards instigated was unrivalled. Maybe even to this day.

Jars Of Clay | Famous Last Words
The first chords of the acoustic guitar are still reminiscent of the Oasis classic “Wonderwall”. But that will soon be over. After a few more bars and the first verse of “Famous Last Words” the chorus lights up – and you think of the ancestors of the Brit rockers, the Beatles.

Who remembers the band Mr. Mister? With “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie” Richard Page and Steve George, the two heads behind Mr. Mister, had top hits worldwide.

Small Faces | Tin Soldier
Admittedly, “Tin Soldier” is not exactly what you might call a rare pearl. The song was a hit for the Small Faces, on Youtube almost six million watched their performance on French television. Those who see and hear the performance of the four Small Faces plus the singer P.P. Arnold will rub their eyes:

Amy Grant | House Of Love
A good song always sounds good. Even without a big arrangement and without opulent accompaniment. A really good song sounds good even if it is performed with guitar and vocals only I was able to experience that in 2014 in a small club in Leiper’s Fork, near Franklin, Tennessee.

Don Henley | New York Minute
Dramatic, sinister, ominous. Eagles drummer, singer and songwriter always had a weakness for the downside of the sunny West Coast medal. However, he has never brought it to the fore more beautifully and forcefully, …

Donald Fagen | Ruby Baby
In 1982 Steely Dan singer Donald Fagen took a solo break. Why? After all, his album “The Nightfly” hardly sounded any different than the albums he recorded with his Steely Dan special Walter Becker.

Peter Allen | Bi-Coastal
In 1980 the Australian Peter Allen released the album “Bi-Coastal”. The work produced by David Foster featured everything that was good and expensive in Los Angeles in terms of musicians and songwriters – Toto members Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro, guitar-playing producer Jay Graydon, backing singers Richard Page and Steve George, who later became known as Mr. Mister, and a razor-sharp brass section around Jerry Hey and Larry Hall.

The Grapes Of Wrath | You May Be Right
The profession of music journalist already has its advantages. You can get in touch with your personal musician heroes, never pay a cent for a concert ticket – and you always get unsolicited CDs sent to you, sometimes from completely unknown but great bands. For example “These Days” by the Canadian alternative rock and folk band The Grapes Of Wrath.

Airplay | She Waits For Me
Airplay was cult. A must-have album for every halfway ambitious musician in the early 80s. Airplay – that was guitarist Jay Graydon and keyboard player David Foster. Two master musicians. Two studio freaks. Two brilliant producers and top songwriters.

Tiromancino | L’essenziale
A pearl from Italy: "L'essenziale" by the Roman band Tiromancino around singer and songwriter Federico Zampaglione. Italian music has its own charm. She appeals to melancholy, broken hearts and unfulfilled love with melodious melodies. Almost always: Molto emozioni!...
