Only nine songs this time.

Sand in Your Shoes, Al Stewart. Another lilting song about an absent friend: "So it's goodbye to milady of the islands".
Seven Year Ache, Rosanne Cash. My favorite of her songs: "All the boys say, When is he gonna give us some room? / All the girls say, God, I hope he comes back soon..."
Tell It All Brother, Kenny Rogers. This one has a revivalistic feel, denouncing petty cruelty and hypocrisy. The instrumentation is spare and the voices unadorned.
This Train Don't Stop There Anymore, Elton John. I didn't know this one until fairly recently. The acoustic imagery is good; you can almost hear the chuff-chuff in his voice.
Book of Days, Enya. Steady and driving, but with the misty acoustic effects that are Enya's trademark.
No Sugar Tonight, the Guess Who.
Lodi, Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Share the Land, the Guess Who. It's very much a song of the sixties in its feelgood message of togetherness, but I like it.
Son of a Preacher Man, Dusty Springfield. Her greatest hit; I have a clear visual image of her performing it on the Ed Sullivan Show, although that almost has to be from syndication or a film clip.
