Many of my friends cite "Beth" as their favorite Kiss song sung by Peter Criss, I beg to differ. Sure, the fact that he, "and the boys have been playin'", and they just can't find the song creates some good romantic tension.
It's the kind of tension that happens when I leave whatever girlfriend I have at the time to travel to a good mega-record swap in a city far far away. I wouldn't want her going with me, just like the band wouldn't allow girlfriends distracting their art. Plus they'd all end up going home with Gene Simmons, but I digress.
"Hard Luck Woman" is my favorite Kiss-Criss song because my friend Chris was convinced Rod Stewart was singing it. According to Wikipedia (who usually get it right,right?) the song was written for Rod The Mod, but he thumbed his nose at it.
Nonetheless, I won five bucks on that bet, which could buy you a lot in 1977. Maybe even a Kiss poster from CO-OP records.
You can hear "Hard Luck Woman" on the 9@9, Tuesday January 6th.
As always, thanks for your support!
