Musical Tastes

For the classic rockers who thought that R&R Hall of Famers Buffalo Springfield were just a one hit wonder... this is from their third and final album, released after the group had broken up.
Neil Young actually wrote it but was becoming disillusioned with the group, so he handed it off to (Poco founder ) Richie Furay..

It's been said that Johnny Rivers could sing the phone book and people would listen

Here's a two-fer from one of the best albums of 1974

Song written by, Johnny Rivers
In memory of Gram Parsons, Jim Croce and Bobby Darin
For the 1974 album The Road

Here's an original version two-fer, from the same artist:

BW's version came out I week before the TDN single..
Written by Daniel Moore about a mythical place or state of mind ..or maybe both.

This one was also written by Moore but BW added a verse so he's on the writer's credit as well..
Released long before most of the cover versions

No, the late seventies wasn't all disco...

Jay Ferguson was a founding member of the LA band, Spirit.

As he would say, Let's go to Thunder Island

Live, from Japan >

Formed in J-ville by Donnie Van Zandt, younger brother of Ronnie, and therefore typecast as a Southern Rock band..
They never really sounded that way to me ...More 70's -80's Rock /Pop
But here's one of my favorites by them...It's been running through my head for a few days, and now maybe I can pass it off.
LOL
