Comment:

Eccentric, prolific, charmingly optimistic, stylistically diverse, prone to bursts of endearing infantile naivety . . . Jonathan Richman — both solo and fronting various incarnations of his Modern Lovers band – is one of rock's great cult heroes. The bedrock of his longstanding career lies in the origins of punk, so let's kick off with two-chord masterpiece "Roadrunner" (covered by the Sex Pistols in '78) and the 1977 instrumental hit "Egyptian Reggae". Richman celebrates great artists, in Next Steps.
