Boogie My Life Away
February 22, 2016 6:16 pmMy favorite radio station is The Underground Garage. If you listen frequently, you can sometimes get that old time thrill of hearing an unfamiliar radio song that really hits you.
So it was today. I experienced a blast of rock and roll on Sirius 21 that sounded like a fight between the New York Dolls and The Georgia Satellites (everybody wins). “Boogie My Life Away” by Norway’s own Backstreet Girls is everything I want out of a punk/sass/rock’n roll bar fight – molten Chuck Berry intro, growling lead singer, and a whiskey chugging rhythm guitar.
A quick visit to Wikipedia revealed these album titles:
