The only problem with this song is that you cannot listen to any other female vocalist for at least a week afterwards. Because they will sound like shit in comparison.

The first riff of this song kinda sounds like that "Can you hear me...." song from the 80s by Mike and the Mechanics

Hi Johray. Wasn't it "George" in Yellow Submarine who said, "It's all in the mind." ;-)

Maybe it was just a "cavernous" living room! On some level your earlier comment makes sense too. In my best "Groucho" voice, I myself would like to join you at that level. 8)

I'm sorry, I know a lot of folks don't like this, but I just think it kicks serious A#*.

I agree.

This time of year...how about "Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man" and "Bloodletting, the Vampire's Song"?!

Concrete Blonde just played a gig here in St. Louis, I am sorry to say they where "drunkenly" horrible , to the point where I actually left the show! :puke: I have never walked out of a concert before in my life!

A lot of folks seem to be dissing Concrete Blonde. I kind of agree with some of this criticism, but.... I dare anyone to diss their first two albums: Concrete Blonde and Free. Absolute rock classics. Absolute. I also DARE you to play some of the choice tracks from those two albums, Bill!

I don't know and can't figure out how to upload tracks to you so if you'd like me to upload some (at 192kbps of course)e-mail me at kkonecko@aol.com
I'd be more than happy to. :D

Peace RP and Bill

I'll second that. She is a powerful singer.

Great track from a great album. If you like this, check out Pretty and Twisted-- the project that Johnette started after Concrete Blonde. It takes the dark, heavy sound from this album even further.

Thump-da-dump-Dump! Thump-da-dump-Dump!
Ugh! This blows major barf chunks. "Hurl It Up" more appropriately. Heard some other stuff I liked from them, but thinking now that must have been a Pizza dream.

Hearing Johnette reminds me of Steve Wynn, formerly of the Dream Syndicate. Steve and Johnette did a nice duet called Conspiracy of the Heart on Steve's album Kerosene Man. I would like to hear some Steve Wynn on RP; his solo stuff would fit right in.

Great number!
Johnette N. has one of the best rock voices ever put to tape (IMO, of course!)

I never heard of these people and I'm very impressed. Kind of remind me a bit of A-ha (anyone remeber them)? Very good indeed. This song really lifts my spirits.
