Playlist for Friday, September 8, 2006

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always a local artist!)
The Magnolias -- Last Train to Clarksville (Hung Up On...; Alias)

In the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St.Paul the Mags were sometimes unjustly tagged as an also-ran to the vaunted Soul Asylum. In fact the energy and appeal of John Freeman's power pop band were second to almost no one, and the group left an impressive discography. This track was taken from the five-song CD-EP "Hung Up On..." released by Alias in 1992.
