I used to be a dj at KUSF in San Francisco and when Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams, the debut BoDeans album was released in 1986, I was blown away by the one-two-three punch of the opening 3 tracks, "She's A Runaway," "Fadeway," and "Still the Night." T-Bone Burnett did an amazing job as producer. Sooner after I became the president of Reprise Records and guess who I found on my label! Radio never discovered the good time compelling nature of the Bodeans' songs but fans did anyway. "Good Things" and "Closer to Free" both came out in the early 90s and both were hit songs with music lovers that radio programmers just never could understand.
