I thought the opening piano part sounded familiar -- Murs and 9th Wonder sampled it for their song "Barbershop" in '06. “Coming Down From Love” is terrifically smooth '80s pop-soul.

Wow, is that Truck song a POS. Thing is, I'm sort of surprised some country beta male with a huge hat that shades all ability to see his eyes hasn't remade it by now. On the other hand, Glen sure was in fine voice in the late 70's. With the second one, though, was he trying to resurrect the Bakersfield sound or something? He sounds like he was trying to be Buck Owens. I'm currently giving those Glen Campbell tracks a listen. Wow, is that Truck song a POS.

That title sounds like a Nightmare on Elm Street Sequel. I'd much prefer "Eddie and the Cruisers II - Electric Boogaloo." Wait – there was an “Eddie and the Cruisers II”?
