AMERICAN HIT RADIO – ALBUM TRACKS FROM THE WINTER OF ‘78-’79, PART 1

PLAY THE SHOW

Last week, we dedicated our program to the hit singles that charted during the winter of ’78-’79. At that time, I expressed that it had been a while since we took a serious look at the ‘70s, and we were overdue. This program points out just how overdue we really were. I decided to review album releases from that same era, and was completely overwhelmed by what I had seen. The number of relevant albums was truly remarkable – much too many to squeeze into one program. So, we now compensate for our dearth of ‘70s coverage by prepping three shows in a row dedicated to that rather unusual era. Today, we look at album tracks from the more traditional side of things. Next week, we’ll continue our coverage of album tracks by focusing on the ‘new breed’ of musical artists who started to shake things up.

            Songs and albums covered in today’s program include;

1)    Kingdom Hall – Van Morrison (from ‘Wavelength’)

2)    Comes a Time – Neil Young (from ‘Comes a Time’)

3)    Look Out for My Love – Neil Young (from ‘Comes a Time’)

4)    Barefoot and Pregnant – Joan Armatrading (from ‘To the Limit’)

5)    Bottom to the Top – Joan Armatrading (from ‘To the Limit’)

6)    Water of Love – Dire Straits (from ‘Dire Straits’)

7)    Wild West End – Dire Straits (from ‘Dire Straits’)

8)    New York Groove – Ace Frehley (from ‘Ace Frehley’)

9)  Take It Where You Find It – Van Morrison (from ‘Wavelength’)
