When this was released, songs from this album were on the radio constantly.
Still, if I had to pick a handful of music to take with me and that's all I ever had, this would be one of the albums. There's a little bit of everything on it.
I hear they can play the honky tonk like anything.
I used to listen to it on my way to work, every morning, on my Sony Walkman™.
1984 was the first year the local district put broadcast radios in busses. The driver would have it tuned to what, at the time, was a pop station. They'd play "Walk of Life" every day that school year.
There's a song from 1996 or so that mentions a Walkman, and I realized kids these days wouldn't even know what it's talking about.
