Gotta Go Go Go!

Song of the Day:

The Paley Brothers – Down the Line

The Paley Brothers one and only, eponymous album is highly touted in Power Pop circles but, we actually find it kinda wimpy. Even their minor hit Come Out and Play, while catchy, is a bit too childish and mild for us.  The exception is today’s Song of the Day, the rocker Down the Line.  But, boy what an exception!  Unlike the rest of the album, this thing cranks up the guitars and careens along with wild abandon while retaining the Paley’s trademark, Everly-like harmonies – a combination we find irresistible.  The song is actually a Buddy Holly cover and we have included Buddy’s original version as well.  Enjoy them both!
