1. Here For A Good Time – George Strait – The sleeve, with Strait smiling, is a scary sight. The song is a backhanded cheerfulness and sounds an awful lot like Nick Lowe in verses, Randy Travis in the chorus.
2.. Love On Top – Beyonce – Sounds like the Supremes with a hip hop producer.
3. The Whole Town's Laughing At Me – Teddy Pendergrass – This is what soul sounds like: a slow wound to the heart in a world where there is no secrets.
4. Last Friday Night – Katy Perry
5. Crazy Rhythms – The Feelies – Did I tell you I bought a tix to the show?
6. It's So Easy (Faithful version) – Paul McCartney – Pretty much great, maybe oversung, maybe not up to Run Devil Run, but like I said, pretty great.
7. Don't Wanna Go Home – Jason DeRulo
8. Save It For Later – The English Beat – After the Specials and Madness , this is the sound of Brit Ska. And this song? Inspired horn solo takes it home.
9. 1+1 – Beyonce
10. Be So True – Total Babes – Great conceit, I'll be true to you even though there is nothing to be true to.
