What an incredibly astute observation: all female-fronted bands sound exactly the same! thx for pointing that out.

 
I was just about to write "hear, hear," in response to the above comment when I realised it was my wife who posted it. Surprise, surprise.

Jim Mankey's reverb is 50% of this song.  Normally I don't condone reverb abuse, but it works really well here.

And that's the other 75% :)  Johnette has one of the top voices for rock & roll... definitely in the top 5 imho.

What a fantastic album this was - reminds me of Dingle, County Kerry back in 1993.

How weird, I was going to post about my friend, Caroline, who also died in a car accident back in 1990. Sorry for your loss, superfly. I don't think I've ever gotten over my friend's death. It changed my life.

Bill it would be so nice if you played something from their first album, like Dance Along the Edge, Still In Hollywood, Your Haunted Head. Their first album is my favorite. I would not call this band main stream rock, just one song that was played to death; Joey.

Been listening to Concrete Blonde for a long time.

Johnette Napolitano is set to appear solo at SXSW this year.

why does mainstream = bad? i wish people wouldn't condemn a song/band/album simply because it had the 'misfortune' to be played on commercial radio.

Yo tambien. I've never actually heard this group before now, although I've always thought their name was excellent. Her voice reminds me of Dusty Springfield.

Great song, a band I think has always been a little underated for the time they were together.

I heard something happened to the lead singer, I believe her last name was DiNapoli??? I heard she got sick. Anyone have info on that?

Went to a concert for Sting, Concrete Blonde was the opening act. We saw Concrete Blonde, they were great. When Sting came on we listened to one song and left. Please play more Concrete Blonde, this song was played too much.

My old college roomate Joe used to play this crap all the time, especially the song "Joey." Now I hear "Caroline." Does Concrete Blonde have another song named for Joey and Caroline's love child? Cheesey!

I wonder who's doing lead guitar on this track? It's really good playing, in a David Gilmour-ish kind of way.


Jim Mankey gets that credit. I saw these guys at "The Wave" in Honolulu in the late 80's - they blew the doors off the place.
