Like A Hurricane [1977]



"...I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream..."



This is one of those ballads that just lets you drift away, somewhere far, somewhere idyllic, to someone ...

The guitar solo(s) to this are on par to Comfortably Numb in my opinion. Thats just my opininion.

In Fact its listed in one of "The greatest guitar solos ever" by quite a few influential rock polls.

I would love to see this guy on Tour and play this song as an encore.

"...I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream..."

Ghost Riders In The Sky [2007]


St Patricks Day 2007, Nicolas Cage's Ghostrider was pure action plus an excellent soundtrack.

Great film to watch plus some great music scores, its a must see for pure style. Looking forward to GhostRider 2.
Love the bike. Love the leather jacket. Love the music.
Love the action sequences.


Cannot remember how many times I have heard this song covered by different artists as I grew up, but the music is very much a funky country tune.

A Million Miles Away [1974]

The guitar riffs intro to

This hotel bar is full of people.....

is nothing short of sublime.

Rory Gallagher, I wish I had seen him whilst he was around.
This blues song is one you can just listen to, time and time again.
The lyrics describe a journey where you may have been once in your life and can relate to the protagonist with a few drinks or two.
