Let's hope this is the harbinger of a great set overall & not the highlight.

I never caught the BTR similarity, but it's a Byrds thing for me, mostly -- the Great 12-string Guitar Revival of '79! (Shoes, Records, the Searchers comeback...)

BOS2 Kinks.

Speaking of songs that sound like other songs...I think I'm having a Jumping Jack Flashback.  But like the previous song, good stuff.

Dave shoulda played "I'm Stuck in a Pagoda with Trisha Toyota"!

BOS3 T.Heads

Dave has easily eclipsed Bob's AOR-centric set from earlier today, even if we don't get a bustout.

Cindy Bullens "Survivor"
Born 1953, West Newbury, Massachusetts. Now based in Portland, Maine, this singer-songwriter travelled to Los Angeles in 1974 in an attempt to break into the music business. Her dedication paid off when she was taken on tour by Elton John, and appeared on his 1976 album Blue Moves. Further session work entailed before Bullens was picked to sing on the Grammy nominated Grease soundtrack. A solo deal with United Artists Records followed, and Bullens earned another Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance for her single "Survivor', taken from 1979"s Desire Wire. The follow-up, Steal The Night, was less successful, although "Trust Me" became a minor hit single. Bullens appeared on Bryan Adams' You Want It, You Got It in 1981, and over the course of the decade performed with artists including Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Lucinda Williams, Joe Cocker and Bob Dylan. She resurrected her own solo career with a strong album for MCA Records in 1989.

Velly intelesting.  I actually own a recent Cindy Bullens CD which I bought on the strength of "It Was a Long Way Down (But I Liked Falling)".  Good stuff.

part of the aforementioned 12-string guitar revival!  I've never heard their cover of Tim Moore's "Rock'n'Roll Love Letter" (a hit for the Bay City Rollers!) but I'd love to.
