Hey Tyina! 😊
Tyina (host) 2:14:13 PM
Hey Dan! I hope you're having a nice weekend.
BamaDan 2:20:58 PM
I am, thank you! Looking forward to today’s show!
Rose Ladyrose 3:09:29 PM
That's My kinda Country GF! Country meets Soul...Love it :-)
Tyina (host) 3:11:16 PM
Hey RoseLady! I was thinking of you today ...
Rose Ladyrose 3:12:11 PM
Awe..appreciate it.
BamaDan 4:13:05 PM
I know I’ve told you this before, Tyina, but “Fairy Tale” is one of my favorite Pointer Sisters tunes. And when I was listening to the radio back in the 70s, I never did hear this full album version, which is a treat!
Rose Ladyrose 4:17:36 PM
"Slow Hand" and "Fire" 2 songs that I have always thought of as erotic....and now YOU show me the Country flavor of theses songs! LOL <3
Tyina (host) 4:33:52 PM
I've never heard the single version, Dan! It seems like a lot of their songs were shortened to fit radio formats - which cuts out some of their awesome harmonies.
BamaDan 4:34:42 PM
Was totally unaware of Bobby Womack’s foray into Country Western music. I definitely want to check that album out.
Tyina (host) 4:35:57 PM
Dan, Womack's original idea for the album title is hilarious but can't be said on the radio ...
Tyina (host) 4:39:56 PM
RoseLady, I've been thinking about this. It seems like R&B and country artists especially explore this blend in erotic music, like Maren's 'RSVP' or 'Övernight' by the Zach Brown Band. I'm going to keep pondering this.
Rose Ladyrose 4:53:51 PM
I will listen for it! You got my attention.... I know it will be good. Thank you for today's show.
Tyina (host) 4:56:49 PM
Thank you, Rose Lady!
