Favorite Songs
Back in the early 80's (yeah, I'm that old) a Boston band called The Make recorded an EP called Democracy, on which appeared a great track called "Amy's Home Tonight". I've been walking in the wilderness for over 20 years trying to find a copy of that song... Anybody else know what I'm talking about?
*** Update ***
Lowell, MA is officially The Best Place On Earth. Downtown, on Central Street, there's a record store called RRRecords. (You can deal with them over the net at rrrecords.com, cuz the shop's not always open). Ask for Ron. He not only had the EP, he knew exactly where it was in the stacks to pull it out and hand it to me. And the price was very right, too.
Amazing.

“Sam Cooke backed by both Ray Charles AND Billy Preston. Too amazing for words.”

“One of the most compelling proofs that a great song can be great no matter how it's arranged and delivered. This one takes no back seat to any original, no matter how clearly we might remember it. When the chorus comes around on the guitar, and the backing vocals swell behind her, Carly is at her very, very best.”

“Still with the stones to deliver "fix the toaster" without a wince. Never one of her best, but no less than it ever was when it ran up the charts.”

“Maysa's sweet, soulful alto is up front and beautiful on this cover. The entire collection is worth a purchase for this song alone, and the rest of the collection is awesome as well. Check out Maysa!”

“Comparisons to Ben Folds are probably inevitable, and while there are some similarities Ian Axel has a totally unique vocal delivery. Very clipped, but the songs here are catchy and humorous and totally delightful to listen to. Check it out!”

“I've not heard enough to review the entire offering yet, but I love this track! It's been a long time since I've found something that really pushed my buttons on AS. This is great!”
