MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Sep 29, 2024 #288

* In 1975, this incredible artist recorded his first album for his new contract with his old label, Columbia Records, after a year with another label. The outstanding song was written in 1974 at a farm he'd purchased and was a quite personal track dealing with changes he was going through, including his marriage falling apart.  The predominant theme here...trying to escape the past.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*One of the most popular touring rock & roll bands in America during the '70's, this band was one of few contemporaries not influenced by the British blues-rock movement as they were a pure bar band made good!   This band simply promotes movement!  Name the band...
 
*this American artist is an unprecedented believer in the power of classic rock and roll and R & B....managing  to keep her traditionalism vital decades after the release of eponymous debut in 1988.  An excellent description of her craft...straight-ahead heartland rock teamed with emotioinally direct songwriting.  But she is not afraid to tackle original songs with epic cover versions and we'll go there later this evening.  Name the artist...
 
*Notorious for shunning concert performances, this band's improbable live reunion in the mid-90's eventually turned into a full-fledged reunion album.  Equally significant was that their fan base went two decades without even a hope of a new record.  If the concert tour flopped, chances are their new recording would follow suit.  Obviously the tour and the album were both as good as it gets.  Name the band and extra credit for the album title...
