SCOTT'S HIDDEN TREASURES # 64 - ALL HALLOWEENY

[RJhog (Admin)]

Yes, you are stuck with another guest host this week.  Since Halloween is right around the corner, and since both Jon and I are using a Halloween theme for LAOTW and AOTW, why not do the same with SHT?

 

So here's what you get this week.  Five songs, all with titles that evoke thoughts of Halloween for me.  I'm not saying the songs are particularly about Halloween, just the titles.  And I'm not gonna tell you who the artists are, at least not yet.  I'll give you the song title and you can try to figure out the band.  Hopefully, I managed to find 5 songs that are new to you, although the artists may not necessarily be new to you.  Enjoy.

5 Tracks

 

 

 

 

1. Scared To Death

 

I don't think anyone will have a problem figuring out who this is.  The song is from a 1995 album (Japan release, US release was in 1996).  I would say this band is somewhat "scary", but the song title fits Halloween perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Ghost Story 

 

This song comes from an American band and from an album released just last year.  Not only does the song title fit my theme, so does the band name.  This album made an appearance in New Music Corner last year, which is why I bought it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Monster

 

Monster comes from one of my favorite musicians, but it's a solo album, not his primary band.  This was his first solo album, released in 1997.  I love the guitar work in this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Candyman

 

How 'bout something from a new release.  Who says it has to be old to be a hidden treasure?  Released earlier this year, this is from an album that very well may end up in my personal Top 10 for the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Ghost Of Floyd Collins

 

From 2008, this song is off of the band's second album.  Again, it's not old, but I certainly consider it a hidden gem.  Good old straight forward rock and roll here, with a slightly southern flavor.

 

 

 

Oh, and here's a pic for you, although it has nothing to do with Halloween, unless you consider this a treat:

Oh, by the way, I will listen, when I get some time. It looks very interesting. HOLY SHIT it looks GREAT!!!!!

That is Leeann Tweeden, in case you need to do any further research.

[Jon]

1. Band name starts with "W"

2. Band name starts with "M"

5. Band name starts with "B"

 

3-4 escape me.

[RJhog (Admin)]

1. Yes

2. Yes

5. Yes

3. You know this voice

4. Scott and Gordon know this one

[Gordon Williams]

Got number one after the second listen, I think. The back up vocals on the chorus were throwing me off a little.

Number 5 I knew before listening, just by the title of the song. Number 4 I got as soon as the vocals started.

Number 2 I dont know. But I like the song a lot! Once I know who it is, I will want to go back and find more music in the old NMC post.

For number three, from just listening, I really have no clue (imagine that)! But I do have a clue from what RJHog posted...his hint gives me an idea...a wild, stab in the dark. I wont post my answers yet, to give others a chance to guess.

Anything else to comment on??    Oh yes, the picture......ahh, the picture...man, that picture!

Gordon, click HERE for the NMC featuring the artist responsible for track 2.

[Gordon Williams]

Thank you sir! Gonna check it out right now!

[Jon]

for 3? is he in a band that starts with "K"?

[Gordon Williams]

I was thinking his regular band may start with an "F".

But until RJ tells us, who the f knows?

 

[RJhog (Admin)]

No sir.  I'm completely surprised you do not know this...maybe you are just effing around.

[Gordon Williams]

No, I was not. I was thinking it might be Lindsay Buckingham, with your first clue? I'll listen again, but I'm stumped, I believe!

[Gordon Williams]

Ok, after listening again, I think I might have a better guess. Does this artist have a brother who is also a musician, and does a good bit of producing, and executive production?
