SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:07 Min.
This ballad was recorded by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band for 1989’s Eddie & The Cruisers II soundtrack. For the film, Cafferty handles actor Michael Paré’s vocals. The song itself narrates a montage sequence of Eddie Wilson’s new mid-80’s band bonding on the road between gigs outside Montreal.
REVIEW:
Reminiscent of the original Eddie’s “Boardwalk Angel,” one might even construe “NYC Song” as its own sequel of sorts. Not only is the tune’s storytelling well-defined, “NYC Song” benefits from John Cafferty’s vocals being in solid form. Further, this song’s low-key, semi-acoustic sound gives it a classy ambiance. Accordingly, this track certainly deserves consideration as a download option for soft rock playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
