Hold Me While I

During the years 1994-1996 Time-Life produced a CD & Magazine called "Grooves". Veteran New York City DJ Vin Scelsa was given full control of the project, and a total of 14 wonderful issues were produced. They each highlighted Vin's selections of the best tracks from the best new albums/artists of the time. In addition, the last track on every CD was a bonus acoustic track by one of the featured artists recorded in the studio just for "Grooves". It was the next best thing to listening to Vin's radio show, "Idiot's Delight".

When Wilson Phillips first hit the airwaves back in late 1989 with their smash "Hold On," I was at a point in my freshman year of college when this song really hit true. After purchasing the single and enjoying its uplifting message (as well as the beautiful b-side "Over and Over"), I was compelled to purchase the full release. Much to my pleasure, the entire CD is filled with beautiful harmonies and full-on power pop tunes that are emotional, uplifting, and simply a joy to sing along with. It's no wonder the release resulted in 5 hit singles, and it's easy to see why many of those singles are still light rock pop station standards to this day. Wilson Phillips' debut is a great addition to anyone's pop collection. And for those who enjoy experiencing music to its fullest, it is a great source of inspiration and positive energy.
