You're right - I didn't like either of those tracks much back in the day, but found myself much more fond of them this time around what with my older/mellower/blander music tastes. "You can call me Al" still rocks, but the best tune is probably Boy in the Bubble.
This, on the other hand, stands the test of time pretty well. I remember buying this album on casette in Woolworths in the Thistle Centre in Stirling!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great song. In fact, I was listening to the album quite a bit last year - I think it's still really good.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought the Gracelands album was a bit of a mixed bag. I never particularly liked the title track or "diamonds on the soles of her shoes."
