Eddie Money

Eddie Money is the sound of a car radio with the windows down. A Brooklyn kid who reportedly trained to be a cop before chasing rock and roll, he turned that working-class grit into eleven Top 40 hits, from "Baby Hold On" to "Take Me Home Tonight." What I love is how unpretentious it all feels; there's sweat and humanity in every line, no polish hiding the person. He passed in 2019, but those rough, joyful vocals keep echoing out of radios and street corners. To me, that unforced, blue-collar cool is exactly what makes a rocker last.
