As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

LP #29 Iain Matthews – Stealin’ Home (1978)

Since I actually discussed this album in an earlier post, I thought I’d use this entry to include some later thoughts on it from Iain himself, borrowed from an interview he did in conjunction with the 2014 re-release of the CD:
 
This album was very much a conscious attempt at something a little more AOR, without deserting my roots. … For me, it served a purpose. … In hindsight, I like the album. It has some very special moments, and it did precisely what it was supposed to do. It raised my profile, without lowering my credibility.
