Good morning, Fanatics. Welcome back to “On That Note,” MeanDean/cyclones500 weekly music series.
In the "“*** You, 2017” thread, I listed a few notable musicians who died this year. For “It’s My Vault” this week, I’ll close the year with a few of my favorite artists and songs from among that legendary group. In many cases, I’m posting songs that might not be considered the artist’s biggest hits, but still excellent stuff.
My list is only the “tip of the tip-of-the-iceberg.” Feel free to add links to late-artists whose work you admire. Fill in the blanks for me!
PART A
Pat DiNizio (1955-2017)
Singer, guiarist, and primary songwriter, The Smithereens, formed in 1980, Carteret, N.J.
“Behind the Wall of Sleep.” from “Especially For You,” 1986
Awesome lyric:
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest fan
Grant Hart (1961-2017)
Best-known as drummer, singer and half of the songwriting juggernaut in Husker Du (with Bob Mould). My sample comes from his solo work.
Now That You Know Me,” from “Intolerance,” 1989.
Tom Petty (1950-2017)
I could make an OTN installment for Petty (that time will come,).
“Saving Grace,” from “Highway Companion,” 2006
“I Should Have Known It,” from “Mojo,” 2010 (with The Heartbreakers)
“Fault Lines,” from “Hypnotic Eye,” 2014 (with The Heartbreakers)
