Drunken Owls and Other Delights

And now for the second half of the year!

( They told me bring something new, please let me pull something through )

So yeah...like I said in the previous post, the more I do research on Walk in Silence, the more I'm realizing just how important some of the major hits and albums from the mid-to-late 80s became in this genre's history. I should post some other years at some point, just for fun!

The titling on this video is wrong...it's not a Bono solo but a Robbie Robertson track off of his eponymous solo album released in autumn 1987--it just has U2 playing the music and Bono singing backup (and threatening to take over with those amazing high notes). You can definitely hear bits of Joshua Tree in this one, kind of "One Tree Hill" meets "Silver and Gold". I remember the long-since vanished WMDK out of Peterborough having this track on their heavy rotation even more so than the overplayed "Somewhere Down the Crazy River".

I bring this up because I've been doing some serious chronology work for Walk In Silence and finding quite a few awesome tracks I'd either forgotten about or hadn't listened to in ages. Expect a video-filled RTS/WIS post probably this Sunday!
