Aaron's song of the day

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

It was always played in the evenings but was never really played as a single so it never charted.

Lunatic Fringe is from Red Rider's album As Far As Siam. Capitol released it as a single (#A-5062), backed with Cowboys In Hong Kong (As Far As Siam). Capitol also released a promo single (#P-A-5062). Side A was a 3:48 edit of Lunatic Fringe and side B was a 4:20 version. On the album, the song is 4:23.

I think I’ve known this song for many years but only very recently did it grab me and now I’ve been hooked on it a lot lately.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Great song.

I'll be the odd man out and say I prefer the Indigo Girls remake

 

[Aaron]

Okay that wasn't bad.
Prefer the original though!

I love the raw recording and raw emotion in her voice. I even love that she doesn't hit a couple notes because it sounds like she's almost crying.

Since I sometimes fill in for kingchuck on the "Who Am I?", I can also fill in for Aaron on "Song Of The Day," right? I will say yes.

One of my favorite songs is Pretty Little Angel Eyes, a 1961 top-ten hit by Curtis Lee & The Halos. In December 2009, the Cactus Cuties (Baylee Barrett, Blaire Elbert, Andi Kitten and Madeline Powell) from Lubbock, Texas, included their version of the song on a 22-track CD/DVD, The Cactus Cuties Live At The Cactus Theater. The CD and DVD are now out of print. Amazon has the album as an MP3.
