The Little River Band...

As I sit here on a Sunday afternoon, a song from my youth has just popped up on my iPod...


About five or so years ago, I bought a greatest hits compilation by this Aussie band and was surprised by how versatile their sound was.  Seriously, there were songs on that CD that I never would have guessed were by this band.  Of course, the songs that made it on the radio in the late 70s and early 80s had a very mainstream sound...


"Reminiscing" has always reminded me of being like 6 or 7 years old, living near Washington, DC.  That was a relatively nice time in my life, even though my dad was trying to gets used to being a civilian again.


When I was older, they came out with "Lonesome Loser", which was pretty yucky...


And the somewhat creepy song, "Night Owl"...


"Happy Anniversary" is a pretty good song.


And so was "Take It Easy On Me"...

Australia was a relatively fertile ground for pop stars back in my day.  Sometimes it's nice to hear from these guys, even though they haven't been big hit makers in some time...
