Spinning the records…

ALBUM:
‘Foster & Lloyd’, 1987
ARTIST:
Foster & Lloyd
For more about this duo’s hits & history check the 03/05/2016 “CarTunes Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE. This record (which I own on vinyl) features 9 songs, 4 released as singles: 1987’s “Crazy Over You” (#4, Side A; written by Foster & Lloyd & 1st recorded by Ricky Van Shelton), 1987-8’s “Sure Thing” (#8, Side A), 1988’s “Texas In 1880” (#18, Side B) & 1988’s “What Do You Want From Me This Time” (#6, Side A). Side A features 2 additional tunes (“Turn Around” & “Token Of Love”), while Side B has 3 more (“Hard To Say No”, “Part I Know By Heart” & “You Can Come Cryin’ To Me”). All of them became favorites of mine, the more I played the record when I was younger.

FEATURE SONG # 1:
“What Do You Want From Me This Time”
This song debuted 08/06/1988, spent 23 weeks on the charts & peaked at #5, becoming their 3rd Top 10 tune from the album. Their 4th & final Top 10 came from a 2nd album: 1989’s “Fair Shake” (#5); none of their last 4 releases cracked the Top 30. This song has proven relevant in my life a few different times; it sure is a question I’m sure most, if not all, of us ask (or at least wonder) sometimes….

FEATURE SONG # 2:
“Hard To Say No”
I highly doubt, at least in the late 1980s, this song would’ve ever been released to country radio. If it had been released as a single back then, it might’ve been better suited for the pop-rock charts. I remember the 1st time I played it, I quickly turned it down so my parents wouldn’t hear it, HA! NOW, of course, it is “soft”, compared to some new music.
