Nice 70's tune.
1976 album Year of the Cat, and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London ...
I would love to see him in concert.
Peach
Not my cup of tea.
Great piano intro, great sax solo; doesn’t get much better!
Wonderful memories
““Song on the Radio” another gem!”
Yes it is!....great saxophone work.
Alan Parsons was the producer on the album and single.
GASP! The Singer/Songwriter era of the 70’s was a great period in music! Al Stewart, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, Carole King, etc.... but then again, I’m an old fart! LOL!
“I was always fond of Road to Moscow.
He is still touring! I saw him in concert a year or two ago. Still going strong!”
My favorite too. I saw him in concert at a casino in Reno a few years ago.
Those are the best parts. What the lyrics mean, I don’t know, but it sounds good.
Alan Parsons produced it.
Cute.
I didn’t like it.
This what I liked from the mid 70s
One of the truly great ones, RIP Rory Gallagher

Yes,Gordon Lightfoot was a genius...especially his early stuff.Carole King as a songwriter was great...as a performer,not so much.
Tim Renwick is a masterful guitarist. Great acoustic solo segues into great electric solo.
That song sounds to me like it’s referencing old 30s-40s movies.
