Daryl Hall and Boston singer/songwriter Eli "Paperboy" Reed, who is about to release his Capitol Records debut, Come and Get It, immediately discovered they had something in common before joining together for the 27th and latest installment of LFDH. As a special added attraction, Average White Band's Alan Gorrie sat in on bass, helping Daryl and Eli cover one of the group's biggest hits, "Pick Up the Pieces." Both Daryl and Eli are stone soul music freaks, with Reed's odyssey taking him from a preternaturally mature teenage R&B; shouter from a Boston high school to a Mississippi Delta juke joint, from Sunday morning gigs behind the organ at a tiny South Side Chicago church to headlining the coolest clubs in Brooklyn with his red-hot band, The True Loves.
Following the recording of a Coventry version of "Let's Go Round Again" Shane finally gets to ask the man who wrote it, what he thinks. Plus, find out what Benny Hill has to do with the song.
With a sample of “School Boy Crush,” former Average White Band guitarist Eliot Lewis uses a Taylor to extend birthday wishes to founding member Alan Gorrie, who turns 70 today. Keep up with Eliot at www.eliotlewis.com.
