    Hi Paul. How about Long John Baldry’s “In The Pines” There are two versions of this. Pick the one you like. Also Audience’s “I Put a Spell on You”. Few people know about Audience.

    • Jerem69

      Any LJB is great by me! I second the nomination.

  • Kyle Kromer

    Loved the Joe Walsh…sometimes I wonder if you’re reading minds?? Hey, I was recently turned on to Sunday Actors a local “act” easily found on these internets. If you will check it out and play one, I think people will enjoy. I like many of the songs so I think you could probably pick any of them. Thank you kind sir. ( :

    They’ve got many others but most are explicit or long-o-matic.

    Comment:
    Bruce Springsteen’s latest music is repetitive and lacking in inspiration.
    Good Lord so willing, folk music will receive the resuscitation it so deserves.

  • Dcrenshaw

    Hi Paul, I was wondering if you would give me a little advice regarding the voice over industry. I want to pursue this career and wanted to be guided in the best direction. Can you refer me please to a company/school here in Dallas?

    Paul,
    Have you ever heard of Armistice? They have a great song called City Lights Cry.
    Also, local acts like Sealion, The Phuss, and The Virgin Wolves are bringing rock very much back into DFW’s music scene, and I highly recommend all of them. Also, local chill acts like Simone Nicole, Ben Ernest Nelson, L. E. Taylor, and Baruch the Scribe all come highly recommended.
    Love the show. Great choice this week bringing back some Toots Hibbert.
