EDDIE RABBITT
Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight
1985 Canada pressingYer old pal Ape has a DEEP love and affection for Eddie Rabbitt.
That love goes way back to when I was 4 or 5 years old. I always used to hear him on my uncles’ country and soft rock stations, and it made quite an impression over the years.
This compilation is incredible.
It has every Eddie banger you could ever want, including the schmaltzy (but wonderful) “You And I” duet with Crystal Gayle.
Country, rock, folk, ballads, the dude could do it all.
He even wrote “Kentucky Rain” for Elvis.It’s crazy listening to this, because it becomes very apparent just how many instantly recognizable hit songs he had.
Eddie died way too young from lung cancer at 56 years old.
I’ve always felt that he’s one of the most underrated songwriters of all time.
Just so many great tunes, man.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #analog #folk #country #eddierabbitt
