Jessie (1993) – Joshua Kadison
Back in the 90’s, in my carefree – lucid days of my early 20’s I must have heard this song 50 times. Here, Joshua Kadison sounded to me a lot like Elton John and akin to John’s early 80’s repertoire,…
Evergone (2022) – Christina Perri
I have been in an article hiatus the last 2 weeks because I have been enjoying the company of my two wonderful children. During that time, we listened to a lot of music amongst other things. Today’s song Evergone by…
Jokerman (1983) – Bob Dylan
Jokerman is the opening track of his 1983 album Infidels. It’s my favourite track from the album but License to Kill and Neighbourhood Bully sure give it run for their money. You just have to be reminded this record could have…
Jim Jones (1992) – Bob Dylan
Jim Jones is my joint favourite song from Dylan’s 1992 record Good as I Been To You. Canadee I-O which has already featured here is my other favourite from his cover versions of old mainly 19th Century folklore ballads. The…

Jealous Guy (1971) – John Lennon
I was fascinated by today’s song Jealous Guy growing up. I don’t know how many times I put the needle down on this record (see image left), but it was a lot. We had one of those old wooden turntables…
It’s All Too Much (1969) – The Beatles
It’s All Too Much is one of my preferred later-period tracks from The Beatles although I haven’t heard it often. Most of what is contained in this article are excerpts from the Wikipedia reference below. The instrumentals blow my listening…
Jar of Hearts (2010) – Christina Perri
In previous posts about Christina Perri, I mentioned how daunting it would be to write about today’s featured song – Jar of Hearts. Now that time has come, and I must step up to the plate. This song is my…
Isn’t it a Pity (1970) – George Harrison
Isn’t It a Pity is from George Harrison’s 1970 album All Things Must Pass. It was his first solo album after the break-up of the Beatles. It also featured as a double A side single with My Sweet Lord. The…
