''One Way Home'' is the third studio album by American rock band The Hooters and was released in 1987. The album peaked at #27 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart on August 29, 1987. ==Background== After over two years of touring throughout the world, The Hooters picked up new instruments and ideas on their travels, creating an album that was a departure from their past work. "Satellite" and "Johnny B" both charted at #61 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 when released as singles. "Karla with a K" came about from simple jamming on the road through Louisiana. The song itself was inspired by an Irish street singer the band met in New Orleans. The song was released in the UK as a single and charted at #81. Toward the middle of the song "One Way Home," a guitar riff from The Beatles' "Taxman" can be heard. A different version of "Fightin' On The Same Side" was originally recorded on the band's 1983 independent label album ''Amore. The music for "Washington's Day" was written by Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman when they were on tour, while producer Rick Chertoff and a longtime friend from Arista Records, Willie Nile, wrote the lyrics. This song is said to be Bob Dylan's favorite Hooters song. In late 1987, The Hooters experienced their first major commercial success in Europe. After heavy airplay in the United Kingdom, "Satellite" became a hit single, reaching No. 22, with the band performing on the popular British television show ''Top of the Pops'' on December 3, where they would meet one of their musical idols, Paul McCartney. The picture for the album cover was taken on a farm on Long Island, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One Way Home」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
