Back in the Game: Rusty Radio Volume V

Hello folks,

It’s been quite a few moons since you’ve heard my voice, but I am back with some tunes.  On the show I’ll explain (excuse) my absence from audiocandy from the past couple months as well as showcase Neil’s career picking up where I ended last: the eighties.  This will be a two-parter with tonight’s show focusing on 1980-1985.

This is his experimental era… A phase so controversial at the time he’s sued by his label for producing non-Neil Young sounding songs.  It definitely has it’s lows… but when it’s good it’s a head turner!  He’s the tracklisting:

1.  Captain Kennedy

2. Opera Star

3. Surfer Joe & Moe the Sleaze

4. Shots

5. Little Thing Called Love

6. Transformer Man

7. Sample & Hold

8. Like An Inca

9. Wonderin’

10. Kinda Fonda Wanda

11. Betty Lou’s Got A New Pair of Shoes

12. Rainin’ In My Heart

13. Get Back To The Country

14. Misfits

15. Are There Any Real Cowboys?

Enjoy!
