ARTIST:
Exile
For more about this band’s hits & history check the 07/31/2015 “CD Showcase Memories” entry via THIS LINK HERE, the 11/04/2015 “Wednesday Wrap” entry via THIS LINK HERE, the 02/17/2016 “Wednesday Wrap” entry via THIS LINK HERE & last week’s “Turntable Tuesday” entry via THIS LINK HERE. This record (which I own on vinyl) features 10 more tunes, with 4 entering the country charts: 1987-8’s “I Can’t Get Close Enough” (Side 2; #1), 1988’s “Feel Like Foolin’ Around” (Side 2; #60 … this tune would’ve faired well on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart…), 1988’s “Just 1 Kiss” (Side 1; #9) & 1988’s “It’s You Again” (Side 2; #21).

FEATURE SONG # 1:
“Shelter From The Night”
Back when I bought vinyl records regularly, I took the time to listen to every song on the record … & found many “hidden gem favorites” never released as singles. Such as the case with nearly all of the songs on this album, like this upbeat title track. As a “kid” when I bought this, I didn’t realize fully what the song was about, but as I grew older, I quickly realized what it meant to want “shelter from the night”….

FEATURE SONG # 2:
“As Long As I Have Your Memory”
As with the above song, this tune was never released as a single, but it quickly became a favorite of mine, & I believe it should’ve been released as a single [just like Side 1’s “Fly On The Wall”]. When I bought this vinyl record in early 1988, my original best friend had just died of an asthma attack, 12/27/1987. So, this slow ballad spoke to me … & reminded me he’d be around as long as I remembered him. I still do.
