One Track Mind

Vinyl

One Track Mind: David Lee Roth, “Tobacco Road” from Eat ‘Em and Smile (1986)

It’s corny and completely over the top, but that’s what I want from Dave.

One Track Mind: Dennis DeYoung, “Lorelei” from Music of Styx: Live in Los Angeles (2014)

Unbent by the years, DeYoung reclaims one of his best early Styx songs.

Vinyl

One Track Mind: Jon Kanis, “Make A Wish” from Fundamentalism Is The Only Way (2014)

Frugally arranged, yet intense, “Make A Wish” is a real keeper.

Vinyl

Times change, members change, but Deep Purple remains.

Vinyl

One Track Mind: Lucinda Williams, “Magnolia” from Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone (2014)

A perfectly calibrated tribute, one full of broken Stonesy grandeur.

One Track Mind: Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, “Our Story” (2014)

Heartfelt and elegant, this is a new swamp-pop standard in the making.

Vinyl

One Track Mind: Paul McCartney, “Hope” from Destiny (2014)

Another shamelessly corny moment – but this time oddly placed.

Vinyl

One Track Mind: The Cure, “Hello Goodbye” from The Art of McCartney (2014)

This multi-artist tribute promises some very intriguing intersections.

Take everything else away, and Andy Bey’s vocal gift is revealed anew.

Vinyl

One Track Mind: Neil Young, “Who’s Gonna Stand Up” (2014)

A classically gnarled Young rocker, but with a gospel twist.
