RETRO 70s
This is the end of my three-week fling with Seventies music. But Retro 70s is a good place to wrap things up. This is one of the few compilation discs that includes “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon. I always loved Linda Ronstadt’s “Blue Bayou.” And Hall & Oates’ “She’s Gone” is excellent blue-eyed soul. Of course, I could do without “A Horse With No Name” by America and Jonathan Edwards’ “Sunshine.”
I liked Disc Two better than Disc One. Santana’s “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen” kicks things off. Boz Scaggs’ “Lowdown” and Dave Mason’s “We Just Disagree” are favorites. And while Eddie Money’s “Baby Hold On” isn’t as good as “Two Tickets to Paradise,” It still rocks.
Do you remember these songs from the Seventies? Any favorites here? GRADE: B
