But if you insist, I'll zoom into the album's dead center, in the middle of Track 7, when the lead singer Black Francis issues a command from the eye of the storm, intoning like his life depended on it, Rock me, Joe. On cue, the band's guitarist Joey Santiago then lets out a brief but thoroughly face-melting solo.
In Monkey Gone to Heaven (and several other tracks on this playlist, from the Runaways, MC5 and Gram Parsons) a solo cue is a way for a vocalist to shout out a guitarist by name, sharing a fleeting bit of the spotlight.
