Eddie Money - Playin' for Keeps. I think Eddie Money gets a bit of a bad rap (rep) in the talent department. For my money (pun intended) he really did put out some great and memorable tunes besides his big hit Two Tickets to Paradise. On this album - I am particularly fond of the song called Trinidad. But I also really think he captured and emitted (if that is the correct term) a unique tone in the spectrum of over-produced 80's-style "corporate" rock (think Heart, Journey et al.) with a handful of songs such as - Walk on Water, Peace in Our Time, Looking Through the Eyes of a Child, I Wanna go Back, and Think I'm in Love. And, as much as I hate mentioning CD's here - his greatest hits compilation CD that came out in October 1989 (it nicely capping that decade), I do find that disk in my car often and in one of the bays of six-disk CD player changer. If he was at some 'fest in the area some summer - I would really try to see him.Tuesday, March 22, 2011
