Comments:
Whereas the debut album had a very acoustic feel to it, “Radio City” was more raw album without losing the sound of Big Star, though. Chilton´s “September Gurls” has become a power-pop classic. The song has been recorded by numerous other artist, but none of those that I have heard come close to surpassing this terrific original version.
The album contains so much great music that it can be difficult to bring out just a few specifically; but songs like “Life is White”, “Way Out West”, “What´s Going Ahn” and “Daisy Glaze” are so great that I can´t help just bringing them up. Bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens helped Chilton in writing these songs.
With the closing track, the nice acoustic “I´m in Love With a Girl”, they return to the softer feel of the first album.
