Rock fans from Boston hold a special place in their hearts for the Modern Lovers. They recorded the most Boston rock song, Roadrunner. For years though, I knew nothing more about this band. I knew that Jonathan Richman was the driving force behind the band, but did not know that future Talking Head, Jerry Harrison, played keys for the Lovers. The band existed between 1970 and 1974. They recorded most of their original album in 1972 with John Cale producing many tracks. They couldn't decide which record company to sign with, though, and the project got shelved. They would then break up. Their debut release did not come out until 1976. Here is the first track on side 2.
