*A superstar artist we all know and love recorded an album in 2001 in an attempt to address all the disparate audiences he's assembled over the years. That meant his blues, rock and pop chops would all play a part on the album. He also enlisted the five members of the group, The Impressions to join him. Name the artist...
*He's been a part of New Orleans' music scene for more than 30 years now, starting out as a street performer. From there, various bands and a solo career with collaborations all over the place. Name the artist with a special presence in our library... *We'll play a track that is quite profound as the artist examines our place in the universe....NOT! Just kidding. This 1994 track has lyrics described by their creator as nonsensical. With things like, 'The bear ate his head, thought it was a candy, it would be wise not labor long on them. Name the artist... *In 1975, this British band took this song to #2 in the U.K. and decided to give the U.S. market a try. Released the following year, it became kind of a 'long-awaited' U.S breakthrough. David Bowie's Fame had just made a dent in the U.S. and this band was a similarly likeable track and vibe.

*This artist's first solo recording in 1970 made history for its length. He'd built up an incredible backlog of compositions by the time, all of which contained material that managed the rare feat of conveying spiritual mysticism without sacrificing his gifts for melody and grand sweeping arrangements. Name the artist...
*By the time this band's last album was released in 1991, the end of the group had been foretold, as their front man was already involved in so many and different ventures. And, he had taken all the necessary steps to retain usage of the band's name for obvious reasons, commercial and otherwise. Name the artist and the band... *This artist has had an interesting , yet arguably frustrating career. A singer, songwriter and guitarist, he spent 5 years and 5 albums with an epic band in the early 70's, but left them just before they became a superstar act. His departure led to a contentious relationship that included suing them for royalties he thought he deserved. Name the artist and the former band.... *This megastar artist released an album in 1989 that was heavily influenced by R&B, although he was never actually considered such a performer. The album's timing was just right as nostalgia for the 60's music-wise at least, was in high gear with big soundtracks such as Dirty Dancing and The Big Chill, taking boomers back in time. Name the artist... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Midnight Confessions by The Grass Roots vs You Were On My Mind by Wee Five ANSWERS 1. George Harrison 2. Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits 3. Bob Welch, Fleetwood Mac 4. Elton John Battle of the Bands : The Grass Roots won the Battle by a single vote *1976 saw the release of a live album by this artist that vaulted him and his band to new heights. Then a fantastic studio album released in 1980 confirmed the band's excellence. This album, released in 1981 is comprised of songs from the artist's previous 3 best sellers...albums in 1976, 1978 and 1980. Name the artist...
*When any artist records in this famous music town, it is difficult to dismiss the city's magnificent soul tradition. This artist certainly soaked up that vibe with his 2013 album paying homage to that city's history. Using a local producer and session musicians long connected to the city, the artist even chose a most appropriate title for the album. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album... *This band was nothing short of country rock genius and produced some most entertaining studio albums (15 of them in roughly 15 years) over a period that started in 1970. The band also survived a bit of a rotating cast of personnel, but their sound was always pure and identifiable. Name the band... *Bands enjoy special moments periodically and one for this group happened because Princess Diana loved this particular track. The band was enlisted to perform it in her honor at the 2007 Concert For Diana at Wembley Stadium. The band was humbled and quite nervous performing the song, but the crowd loved it, singing along the entire way. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Daydream by Lovin’ Spoonful vs A World Without Love by Peter & Gordon ANSWERS 1. Bob Seger Album...Nine Tonight 2. Boz Scaggs Album...Memphis 3. Poco 4. Supertramp Give A Little Bit Battle of the Bands : Lovin’ Spoonful won the Battle with 51% of the votes *We'll go all the way back to 1964 for the biggest hit by this group. It was actually recorded in the last 5 minutes of their recording session. In the song, a guy goes to Mexico and enjoys the company of a young lady whose boyfriend, Jose, is kind of a bad dude. Name the group and extra credit for the name of the song...
*The release of an album in the fall of 1971 gave this great band their 7th gold record in less than 3 years. That same album produced 2, top ten singles. This album also inspired the band into thinking that they could be successful playing stadium and arena venues. Name the band... *Is this artist country or not? After his first two albums (prior to 1989) one might have put him in that genre. Then that 1989 album seemingly sidelined any career aspirations as a mainstream country act as much of it displayed a smoky, late-night vibe of a low-key jazz joint. Name the artist... *Recording other people's songs and giving them a sound of their own is deeply ingrained in this band's working method. It is kind of what we've come to expect with their album released in 2022, as the band has changed little over the course of 35+ years. Covering great tracks regularly...Name the group...
