This is the last track on my Quintessential Burn II “album”, so I’m not sure what I’m going to put here next Saturday, maybe I’ll have to actually right something…so I’ll just leave you with this acoustic guitar cover of a Led Zeppelin tune you may be familiar with:
Another cover, this time of a Supertramp song off their 1979 album titled, surprisingly, Breakfast in America. In true Radio Paradise tradition it was immediately followed by Supertramp itself, either Take the Long Way Home from the same album or School from 1977’s Crime of the Century disc.
Part of the appeal of Radio Paradise for me are the interesting cover tunes that show up unexpectedly, like this one, the early 60’s The Shadows hit which itself is a cover of an earlier British version.
Another thing that you sometimes get on Radio Paradise is mini string of themed music, this song was usually followed by the John Anderson song, Seminole Wind.
Part of the appeal of Radio Paradise is the sometimes unexpected shifts and tone of the the songs you hear, but they do not seem jarring at all. This song by Willie Nelson following Cake’s Bound Away makes perfect sense, but Crying leading into Penny Lane shouldn’t work, but it does.
William Shatner covers Pulp’s 1995 BritPop hit Common People. There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. Bill and LordRicco666 have erased this line on so many levels.
First of three songs that are almost all or mainly spoken word. This one is from Bruce Cockburn on the Cambodian self genocide and killing fields during the Khmer Rouge 1974-1978.
