Put Your Hands On The Screen  performed by  Martin Briley  ()
 
 
 Martin Briley is the same guy who did that catchy 80's song "The Salt in My Tears," which is the only one of his songs that got much airplay.  It's a shame because Briley is such a talented artist.
 
 "Put Your Hands On The Screen" begins with a solo bass drum beat that immediately gets your attention, followed by Briley's moody guitar riffs (the style reminds me of The Eagles "Those Shoes").  As a whole, the song is melodic with a slow, strong beat.  It's also timeless.  You can't tell whether it was a song from the 80's or a song from 2004.
 
 It's all about TV evangelists and I love the lyrics:
 
 ...The choir is singing
 And everybody's feeling good
 The phones are ringing 
 From Bethlehem  to Hollywood
 So move in closer
 Let your faces feel the glow
 There's a holy presence
 Right here in the studio...
 
 The album is now considered rare, but you can google and find a copy.  |
