Oh, this has a fantastic storytelling intro! He's quite hilarious and gave a great explanation on how he decided to call it Kinks Shirt even though the girl really wasn't in one LOL! Van Halen had already covered You Really Got Me and Where Have All the Good Times Gone before that 1984 Van Halen tour shirt came out, so there is that tenuous connection. But look, the album is called 'The Last of the Great Pretenders', so there ya go! I can imagine a tough Chryssie Hynde sort of girl now, ya know! I'm glad you caught that playlist Tim as I had skipped over it!

Martin, I knew he had a big hit a few years ago; 'Come On Get Higher'. I'd seen him on some VH1 show talking about staying true to his art. I looked it up and I see he has become a fixture on Adult Album Alternative radio stations. He obviously has great taste, and the story he tells about how Kinks Shirt came about is funny and shows him to be quite knowledgeable! I saw on the other thread about this that you were listening to his hit album 'Some Mad Hope' which has 'Come On Get Higher' on it! Cool! Glad you are diggin' it!

John, I've just finished listening to his new album "The Last Of The Great Pretenders". It's an excellent record full with hidden gems. I've ordered it! Thanks again.

Kudos to you Martin! Tim told me to tell you 'right on'! Tim wants to get the big hit album Some Mad Hope that I mentioned. Again, I think the story he tells about how Kinks Shirt came about is hilarious; he's got an excellent stage presence! Please let us know what the standouts are after you give it some listens. Perhaps you could add them to the Power Pop thread !
