Ten For Tuesday Episode 057

Once again this has come down to the wire, my wife has had me busy working on her projects. If you're single you won't understand but it comes with the deal. Luckily, I've had the idea for this episode for at least a  month so all I had to do was gather the music files and determine the order of songs. There's not a lot of talking which is a good thing, just ten great songs from the 80s and 90s that don't get any kind of airplay around here. In two weeks we'll see what kind of mood I'm in and what I can dredge up from my musical memories. Later.

Wire Train - With God On Our Side
Devo - Jerking Back And Forth
Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Georgia Satellites - Battleship Chains
Beat Farmers - Riverside
The Replacements - Kiss Me On The Bus
The Rainmakers - Let My People Go
Matthew Sweet - Sick Of Myself
Concrete Blonde - God Is A Bullet
Soul Asylum - Somebody To Shove

Ten For Tuesday is a podcast dedicated to playing the music I couldn't find anywhere else. The music I like varies from style to style, genre to genre and era to era. You will hear punk, ska, rock, Americana, metal, country, rockabilly and more from all over the world. It doesn't matter if it's a major label or indie as long as I like it then it gets played. The motto is Less Talk More Music which means you won't hear me waxing poetic for fifteen minutes between songs. At TFT its all about the music...and me of course.

12 Inch SIngles - The Rainmakers - Let My People Go Go

Number 7 in my ongoing series about the 12 inch singles I purchased in 1986 at a Tulsa flea market is by The Rainmakers. According to their website the band originally formed in 1983 as a three piece. After adding a fourth member and recording their first independent release they quickly were signed by Polygram Records and were named as "America's Great Next Band" by Newsday. "Let My People Go Go" was on their first album for Polygram which was simply titled "The Rainmakers."



Band Members:
Bob Walkenhorst
Steve Phillips
Rich Ruth, through 1995
Pat Tomek
Michael Bliss (Replaced Ruth in 1995)
