"If only" - Hanson
Goodness, they've grown up a bit!
Tall!hanson, harmonica!hanson and titchy!hanson return to their homeground: pop with a good slice of blues.
The fond memories of "Mmmbop" took the lads this far and no further. Which is a bit of a shame, this song's somewhat better than i remembered.
Anyway, after this hit singles become rarities, and we don't see them again for years.

"Amazed" - Lonestar Terry Wogan had a soft spot for country songs that told a story; he'd championed Faith Hill and Gretchen Peters, and played this track a bit. So does his successor. After two months on release, and two months charting around number 25, Capital Radio was finally playing the song. It almost broke through to become a major hit. The four-piece band from Tennessee honed their craft by playing 500 gigs in two years, and honed their songwriting to make syrupy observational songs. For my money, they got even more saccharine in later years, and i can't honestly recommend an album. #TOTP #Lonestar
