I was delighted to be joined in studio this week by Chalk Circle vocalist and guitarist Chris Tait. I listened to him a lot as a teen (still do), so it was great to have him in for a conversation about his playlist AND my favourite Chalk songs.
I won't spoil it, but Chris does something really cool with his playlist here. Every song has a place on the list for a very specific reason, and I was impressed at how the whole thing was carried out. Great stories too, including the fact that he actually argued against having Chalk Circle's biggest hit, "April Fool" as a single - he didn't even want it on the album(!). Really great conversation.
Tait's playlist:
Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Rush - Working Man
The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
The Skids - Into The Valley
Echo & The Bunnymen - The Cutter
Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It
David Bowie - Space Oddity
Matthew Sweet - Divine Intervention
Blinker The Star - September Already
Earth, Wind, & Fire - September
Vullpeck - Dean Town
