Live on VH1: On the Station to Station album, the title track is followed by “Golden Years.” The third and final song on the first side of the album is the lovely “Word On a Wing.” A surprisingly religious song … Continue reading
Live in 1978, featuring amazing guitar work from Adrian Belew: How is it that I lived to be 41 without ever listening to the whole of Station to Station? Released in 1976, this classic album bridges the gap between Bowie’s … Continue reading
