Walter Egan - Fool Moon Fire

Our long time reader(s) will know that we love this time of year - to the point that we have an All Hallows Even celebration every year (since 2011!)  This year, we start off with a pitch perfect video - Walter Egan's "Fool Moon Fire."

Egan kicked around the music industry for years, and never quite broke through - with one exception.  His 1978 song "Magnet and Steel" (written about Stevie Nicks), hit #8 on the charts, making him an official one hit wonder.

Of course, this is an eighties blog, and we are taking Halloween, so we went with 1983's "Fool Moon Fire" instead.  The song did chart (#46). although the Wild Exhibitions LP did not.  The video hearkens back to the days when artists spent five grand to make a video - though we find the homemade elements charming.

And we would be remiss if we didn't point out the candy apple red vintage Mustang ... and one of the best wolf man playing guitar scenes ever (around 3:23).

  1. Love the wolf man playing guitar. Reminds me of ZZ Top.
