MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Oct 5, 2025 #335

*A terrific singer/songwriter released an eponymous album in 1970 that included a song that resonates with listeners through its poignant lyrics and distinct musical style.  Blending folk and rock influences, the lyrics encourage any listener to take a moment, reflect on their experiences and confront their own emotions.  Neme the artist and the metaphorical song from that album...
 
*This artist did exceptionally well in the 60's and 70's with his bands, but struggled a bit to find success as a solo artist early on.  He then teamed with a very successful lyricist who had written songs for Barry Manilow, B.B. King, Joe Cocker and The Crusaders.  They ended up co-writing most of the songs for a 1980 album that became a huge hit.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album...
 
*A ballad created by the epic late 60's/early 70's band was originally recorded by a band named The 31st of February.  The writer thought so little of it that he sold the publishing right to it to buy a plane ticket.  It was revived for an incredible 1972 album.  The song conjures up a reference to legendary blues artist, Robert Johnson who sold his soul to the devil in a certain location.  Name the artist, the band and extra credit for the song title...
 
*There is a kind of comfort knowing this artist is still making music, both solo and with a band, enlisting exceptional band members with which he's played show after show, made album after alsum for nearly 3 decades.  His voice, guitar and songs recalls the blues and rock of the late 60's and 70's, yet he presents it all with a modern punch that makes them sound contemporary.  Name the artist...
