Barney Hurley's AOR Rarities Playlist

Last year we interviewed Barney Hurley of Samuel Purdey when the reissue of their classic Musically Adrift album was released. Featuring top musicians such as Steely Dan veterans Elliott Randall and Frank Floyd, and with a smooth, expensive production sound, Musically Adrift was a record made at just the wrong time - the mid-1990s, when complaint rock was at its peak. But now it's different of course and the record is finally being appreciated by a whole new audience. We asked Barney for a selection of his favourite AOR rarities and here's a dozen from his collection. 

1) Rollin' By - Amy Holland 

2) No One There - Eric Tagg

3) Your Loss – Rick Bowles

4) Dark Ages – Mac McAnally

5) Jaymes - Sneaker

6)  Mary Ann – Christopher Cross

7) Lucky One (New York Boy) – Carrera

8) Cool Fool – Bruce Roberts

9)  Estrelar – Marcos Valle

10) Anything at All – Karen Blake

11) You’re The Best - Gerard Kenny

12) Bluer Than Blue – Michael Johnson
