"Al Bowlly's in Heaven" by Richard Thompson sounds like the one to me.

The only "cult figure" I can think of that Froom produced would be Richard Thompson. But I don't know his stuff.

You picked a good one for #13.

In a popular movie, I meant to say.

The artist of 13 was namechecked in a hipster way in a movie.

Or rather, Froom produced 13. (And played keyboards on 15.)

13 is both a major figure in rock and roll and someone whose career has never escaped being a cult figure. The general public still doesn't know who he is, but I'll bet most people reading this site at least have heard of him.

It is Mitchell Froom on keyboards on 13 -- the only song remaining, because "I Know" and "Don't Cry Out Loud" are correct.

And #13 is Mitchell Froom on keyboards, but darn if I know what the track is...

#6 "I Know" Fiona Apple
#12 "Don't Cry Out Loud" Melissa Manchester

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Scraps — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:19:38 -0000

"Without You" is correct!

Not "This Will Be".

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

MichaelFortes — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:14:06 -0000

Is #12 "This Will Be" by Natalie Cole?
Is #20 "Without You" by Harry Nilsson?

13. Steve Nieve was Costello's usual keyboard player. Am I getting warm?

Not Jerry Lee Lewis.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Bastard No. 1 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:13:57 -0000

that describes Jerry Lee Lewis perfectly - but I couldn't even remotely tell you what track Jim was on.

Not Money Mark. Though the album #6 was on was a commercial failure, that's a relative description; the artist is still far more commercially successful than Money Mark.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Bastard No. 1 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:46:12 -0000

I know he was on the last Money Mark record - so is #6 Brand New By Tomorrow by Money Mark?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Scraps — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:34:17 -0000

6 - The most recent song on the list. The album was a critical success and a commercial failure. (The critics are right.)

12 - Big 1970s hit by a singer who had a few of them.

13 - Cult hero. The producer of this played keyboard on 15.

20 - A huge hit by a songwriter who didn't write this one. Would tend to be covered by the same type of singers who'd cover #12.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

"She's Just My Style" is correct.

Two of the ones remaining were guessed by people who made too many guesses. I'm not sure whether to just fill them in now or let people guess them.
