I didn't have any of their songs on iTunes, so I downloaded seven songs I like. Unfortunately, "Give Me the Keys (and I'll Drive You Crazy)" wasn't offered. Guess I'll have to haunt a used CD store and find a copy of "Small World", the album this song was on.

As usual, I ignored their most popular song, "The Power of Love", in favor of:

Bad Is Bad
Perfect World
Heart and Soul
I Want A New Drug
Stuck with You
It's All Right
Do You Believe in Love

I really like this video:

In my younger days...maybe a bit after high school, I played in a band that was a Huey Lewis tribute band. Maybe we didn't call it a tribute band but we did much of his music. And that was because our lead singer Ralph was a dead ringer look alike of Huey Lewis. No one could tell the difference. His name was Ralph and everyone but his mother called him Huey.

Yea man they were the good ol days.

I have gotten tired of most of their songs. I still like Jacob's Ladder though


YouTube - Huey Lewis and The News

Huey seems very down to earth. On their Behind the Music he said he always saved his money because he knew that they wouldn't be on top forever.

Jacob's Ladder was written by Bruce Hornsby by the way.

That means Bruce has produced at least one thing that I like. I can't stand most of his music. Oh, I thought of another good Huey Lewis song. I love Cruisin'. Man, what was he thinking about when he wrote that one? Great song!

Kind of gross that they are singing it to each other since they are supposed to be father/daughter.

Not one of my favorite groups, but Huey Lewis and the News put on a great live show. Saw them in L.A. A freebie.
