Favorite "Life" Songs #10 - "Life in London"

Tweet

By my count, I finished my 88th music series earlier today, so I might as well jump right back in with #89. With #89, I am celebrating life itself with my ten favorite songs with "life" in the title. We'll start, of course, with #10: "Life in London" by Pat Travers. (Let's get this Fun Fact that I Just Learned a Few Minutes Ago out of the way: On tour in the early 80's, bluesy, hard rocking guitarist Pat Travers, after finishing his own concert, grabbed his guitar and headed to a Bauhaus concert, looking to jam. Apparently, that didn't go over very well!) If you were even a casual hard rock listener in the late 1970's/early 80's, you should remember Travers' radio hits, "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)" and "Snortin' Whiskey." "Life in London" was released prior to either of those, a single from his 1977 album, Putting it Straight. "Life in London" is one smoking hot tune. I've linked to a live Canadian performance from 1990, featuring some fantastic guitar play from both Travers and Jerry Riggs. Enjoy! (One of Canada's greatest exports info verified by Wikipedia)
