The Friday Five: February 17, 2012
What do you do for Friday Fives? How do you get your kicks?
AC/DC - “What Do You Do For Money Honey” (Back in Black, 1980)
Yeah! Off to a good start so far. I absolutely love the chorus on this one.Andrew Peterson - “Mystery of Mercy” (The Far Country, 2005)
Peterson has popped up on previous Friday Fives. This is a song of his that CCM act Caedmon’s Call recorded for their 2003 album Back Home and is one of the strongest tracks on this album.U2 - “God Part II” (Rattle and Hum, 1988)
Meh track from a meh-ish kind of album. I never really got the point of Rattle and Hum, although I do dig their version of “All Along the Watchtower.”Ramones - “Bop ‘Til You Drop” (Ramones Mania, 1988)
Just over 2 minutes of Ramones goodness. Nice.Phil Keaggy - “Passing Thought” (Acoustic Sketches, 1996)
Looks like my iTunes is all over the place today. Acoustic Sketches is (true to its name) an acoustic album from criminally underrated and largely unknown CCM guitarist Phil Keaggy, and as the song title suggests, this is a sort of segue track on the album. Keaggy is an amazing guitarist. He does this thing live with digital delays where he lays down a guitar part and loops it, then starts layering on more and more parts so that he can play along with himself. This album was one of the backing tracks for my web programming years ago.
