Love songs. Break-up songs. Rock 'n' roll has always been about the love songs. I made this mix about two years ago and posted in my usual places. It was also one of my short lived Mixes of the Week on Facebook. Now it's here as the first mix in the Heartache series. I wanted to be inclusive of all kinds of love songs and people can be so much in love to cause heartache and of course the lack of love or the loss of love certainly causes heartache.
Opens with one of my favorite Cat Stevens songs. Lots of favorites actually including the wonderful Colin Blunstone who had a fantastic but not very commercially successful solo career after leaving The Zombies. What a voice.
