    Albums From the Year 1976 – Part 1

    In the first of a multi-episode stretch this episode is all about the albums released in the very prolific year of 1976. The first of four albums we chose are: Peter Frampton – Frampton Comes Alive Boston – Boston (debut album) It was very difficult to narrow down to just 4 albums for a year that saw some of the most successful albums released. We start with one of Mark’s favorite all-time albums, Peter Frampton’s release Frampton Comes Alive. The best selling album for 1976 it still sells thousands of albums each year. Next comes Carey’s entry, Boston’s debut album Boston. Chock full of radio ready singles and for the time mind blowing guitar work. Tom Scholz’s work on this album was a high water mark for guitar oriented music in the late 70’s.

    Bush – Little Things

    The British Invasion didn’t stop with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Bush hit the scene in 1994 with Sixteen Stone, their debut album which spawned Comedown and Glycerine which had good airplay. Little Things was also on the album but enjoyed less exposure but is nonetheless worthy of a listen. Led by Gavin Rossdale, the band enjoyed their heyday until around 2000 and then split up. They reunited later that same decade and are still going strong. Listen as Carey and Mark talk through the song and how songs are released these days.

    Boz Scaggs – Silk Degrees

    Not every artist has a Silk Degrees in their discography but Boz Scaggs most successful album was one of the top albums of 1976. With 4 amazing singles including this one, Georgia, the album stayed on the charts for more than 2 years. His studio musicians were the cream of the crop and their talent shows up in each and every song.

    Fleetwood Mac – Hypnotized

    Rumors was obviously the biggest Fleetwood Mac album, but there were other good albums and songs in their catalog. Their 1973 release Mystery To Me had one of those songs, Hypnotized. The title was an apt description of the tune as a hypnotizing feeling is what the song emotes. Bob Welch also released this on his solo album after leaving the Mac and it was well received there as well. Let’s travel back to the early 70’s for this uncovered tune.

    Sister Hazel – Change Your Mind

    Looking for an encouraging word, a positive thought? Sister Hazel’s Change Your Mind fits that bill. From Gainesville Florida this five man band has released 11 albums of which Fortress was their 3rd. The song was written as a plea to ‘change your mind’ if you were going through a hardship and focus on the positive. This one was a fun one to record, remembering other one-hit wonders has us both laughing. Here’s the other Sister Hazel song we spotlighted – Champagne High Sister Hazel – Champagne High

    Wild Cherry – Hold On

    If you think Play That Funky Music was Wild Cherry’s biggest hit, you would be right. But they also had other songs that are worth your time to search out. We’ve done that for you with their much slower song Hold On. Written by lead singer and guitarist Robert Parissi Hold On was an ode to blue eyed soul, and man did they do it justice. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

    Rick Springfield – Love Somebody

    Jessie’s Girl was a huge hit for Mr. Springfield but he is so much more than bubble gum pop. This song isn’t what some people would equate with Rick but is much closer to what his actual discography contains. The movie was a fairly close representation of touring and the soundtrack was very well done. Love Somebody dot some airplay and charted, but not as high and long lasting as Jessie’s Girl. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

    Foreigner – Fool For You Anyway

    Foreigner ruled the airwaves with their first album, songs like Feels Like The First Time and Cold as Ice were everywhere. This episode’s uncovered tune is a lesser known gem. Fool For You Anyway didn’t get airplay like the singles but shows a different side of the band. A stripped down song with layered background vocals makes for a smooth late 70’s song we like to revisit often. Take a listen.
