Highlights:
Stand Your Ground (https://open.spotify.com/track/4ug2AlDsDwpP8WbcwlWAdH?si=UZHgoKQfS1WfUlvF56HN2A)
Requisite 80s cover: A sped up pub band version of “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"
The Capitol release of a Blondie-as-Bar-Band is a weakly produced joint.
The singer’s voice is similar to Ellen Foley. And the piano driven Steinman style tracks presented me with an opportunity to ponder what Bat Out of Hell might have sounded if the backup singers took lead.
The songs aren’t anywhere as good as Jim’s but in that wheelhouse.
You can hear the title track on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4bRx5FyuB2aSoOPGiir8FD?si=8yDIZOtfSRysAXD3eoxFrA
The album version is better, clearer. But it’s not worth going through the hassle to get it, IMO.
Once again, this is not available anywhere except on my computer. Some of the tracks are on Spotify. If you like what you hear, stick to the official “Lost” album.
