Of course there are all kinds of reasons why so many good songs and performers get ignored by private radio. Just as there are all kinds of reasons why lame songs get played.

Whatever the reason, it’s nice to hear Ron Sexsmith finally making it into a rotation on Magic 93 as of the past week or so. It is long overdue.

It’s too bad that the song isn’t, in my opinion, one of his better songs. Here’s hoping that Ron Sexsmith catches on and more and more of his songs end up on the radio.

The Beatles’ album Let It Be – Naked was released this week. As much as I am not a fan of the over-orchestration of the 30 year old Phil Spector-produced ‘original’, it’s quite evident, after listening to ‘Naked’ that some form of production was required to make these songs come ‘alive’. As the album title implies, the songs presented on ‘Naked’ are in their most basic form, and as such, are pretty flat and unexciting.

Somewhere between the over-produced Spector version and the un-produced Naked version, lies a better version of this album.
