Jerry Doucette's debut album Mama Let Him Play (1977) was an unqualified succes, quickly reaching platinum status in Canada. Interest was generated outside of Canada as he toured behind the album, opening for acts such as Eddie Money, Meatloaf, and Bob Welch. Singles from the disc included the title track, "All I Wanna Do", and the song whose Intro is tabbed here, "Down the Road", the album's opening track.
In keeping with the Christmas theme, "A Spaceman Came Travelling" is a re-telling of the Christmas story with a sci-fi twist. The song is from Chris de Burgh's second album, Spanish Train And Other Stories (1975). It's had good success, particularly in the UK and Ireland, where it's been released as a single multiple times, reaching the Top 40 in its 1986 release.
) are all posted on their appropriate various pages on the main site, but it seemed like a good idea to also gather them together in one spot. That makes it easier for anyone who might come by looking for Christmas tabs; they won't have to search the whole site to see if there are any. That's a temporary page for December; the link to it will be removed after Christmas.
The Pretenders' Christmas-themed song "2000 Miles" was released as a single in 1983, in advance of Learning To Crawl (1984), the album on which it appeared. The single had its best success in the UK, where it charted at #15. Upon its release, the album went gold and platinum in the UK and the US respectively, peaking at #4 on Canada's album chart.
"Strange Magic" was the second single (after "Evil Woman") released from ELO's 1975 album Face The Music. The album went platinum in the band's native UK (gold in the US), launching a string of internationally successful multi-platinum albums for the Birmingham septet. Tabbed here is the Intro, a nice harmonized guitar part, ending on a cool little descending chromatic run.
