Wednesday Power Pop: Bram Tchaikovsky - Girl Of My Dreams


Bram Tchaikovsky was a guitarist in the Motors before heading out on his own to cut the power pop masterpiece Girl Of My Dreams which got quite a bit of airplay on the radio station I listened to in the late 70’s and it has been a favorite of mine since first hearing it. Chiming guitars and some vocal harmony heaven sounds as good today as it did almost thirty years ago. Listening to it now, the music not the vocals, reminds me of Tom Petty from about the same period. Not that surprising actually they probably had some of the same influences. Tom made some pretty good power pop in the late 70's as well.
