1988 isn't a year I'm too familiar with music-wise, as I was travelling most of that year, so I'd have to look in my iTunes to see what else I might add. The only things I can think of off the top of my head are something from Randy Newman's 'Land of Dreams' (let's go with 'Dixie Flyer') and something from Til Tuesday's 'Everything's Different Now' (how about 'Long Gone (Buddy)'?), and the post above has just reminded me of the Waterboys. Title track of 'Fisherman's Blues' I think, there.
