    Gerry Rafferty - "The Ark"

    Gerry Rafferty - "The Ark"

    Everybody knows "Baker Street"-- even if you don't know the artist's name or the song title, you probably know that sax riff. But there's more to Gerry Rafferty than "Baker Street" (or "Stuck In The Middle", for that matter). Here's an incredibly moving song that's every bit as good as his biggest hits.

    P.P. Arnold - "Medicated Goo"

    P.P. Arnold - "Medicated Goo"

    You may not know her name, but I guarantee you've heard her voice. When acts as diverse as Graham Nash, Peter Gabriel and KLF are in need of a soulful vocal, PP Arnold has been a top choice. Her voice has graced dozens of songs & albums for over 50 years, though she's never had a hit under her own name in the US. On this episode, we take a brief look at her career and examine a great lost track, featuring Eric Clapton and the Derek & The Dominos band, recorded in 1970 but didn't see the light of day until 47 years later.

    The Kinks - "Dead End Street"

    The Kinks - "Dead End Street"

    "Dead End Street" marked a shift in Ray Davies' songwriting. His songs began to take on a more UK-specific focus. And if not political, it was at least more socially pointed, as he sings about an out-of-work, impoverished couple who wonder, "What are we living for?" 50+ years on, many still ask that same question.

    Television - "See No Evil"

    Television - "See No Evil"

    Television came out of the CBGB's scene in New York (in fact, they were the first rock band to play the legendary club), but they never fit the "Punk" or "New Wave" label. They were unique, which is why their debut album Marquee Moon sounds timeless, as fresh today as the day it was released in 1977. Fronted by two great guitarists-- the mercurial Richard Lloyd and the enigmatic Tom Verlaine, who also provided unorthodox vocals and most of the songwriting-- Television would influence generations of bands that followed. Though they never achieved commercial success, Marquee Moon regularly appears on virtually every "Greatest Albums Of All Time" list. On this episode, we explore the track that opens the album, "See No Evil".

One of my must-listen music podcasts

A real labor-of-love podcast from Brad Page - great songs, great analysis, nice tight show format and length - what’s not to love? This show is one of my must-listens. I enjoy the episodes featuring songs that I know and/or love, and I have also discovered a number of new songs, which have expanded my musical scope.

Thank you Brad, and keep up the great work!

Great song selection

Just the right length and some true lesser known gems here. Also the way the songs are dissected provides a deep dive into the elements that make these songs memorable.

Not a minute wasted

While it seems like almost everyone has a podcast these days, it is refreshing when a great one comes along. Brad Page's "I'm In Love WIth That Song" is indeed a great podcast. His deep dives into each song that he chooses are both insightful and concise. He has extremely ecletic tastes which is great because not only can you be exposed to songs you may not normally listen to, but he points out reasons these songs are worthy of your attention. He sometimes has guests (Usually authors) on those segments when he goes more in depth and those are good listens as well. Nothing gets too heavy. The point is to highlight the ingredients in each song that make it special. He does that with love and joy and it imakes for infectious listening. Highly recommended.
