Electric Light Orchestra (a.k.a. ELO) - Roll Over Beethoven

An interesting choice of cover songs for their second album. It's not a note-for-note cover like some artists do; ELO make it their own from the Beethoven's Fifth opening to the very end.

Plus the song reminds me of something a friend and I did at the college radio station we both worked at many many moons ago, but that's a story for another time.

Santana - Hold On

One of my favorite Santana songs. It doesn't seem to get the same kind of love that his other hits do, even though it was a top 20 single. Probably because it's got too much of a pop or disco of a sound to it, though his guitar work on it is top notch as always.

Rita Coolidge - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher

In the mood for some sappy 70s music and this fits the bill perfectly!

I can truly say... with all my heart… I can dig it!

The really sad part is I would likely say that today anyway, even when not taking about the 70’s…
