“Don’t Stop Talking” is an uplifting and infectiously catchy tune about the vital role talk radio plays in supporting American freedom of speech and the First Amendment. Non-partisan lyrics ring out: “As long as you’ve got a voice, don’t ever stop!” and “As long as you’ve got the truth, don’t ever stop!” The images accompanying the music include a dynamic montage of individual radio talk hosts in the process of doing their shows.
This song, an infectious rocker marked by driving guitars, riveting keyboards, soaring horns and a multi-layered group chorus depicts the dangers human civilization faces in an increasingly uncertain environment marked by the rising corruption of deep fakes and manipulative algorithms that threaten elections and question the very premise of “self-evident” truths.

This song expresses the frustration we all face in an increasingly dangerous environment marked by the rising corruption of identity theft, charity scams, grandparent scams, imposter scams, mail fraud, romance scams, lottery scams, crypto scams, blackmail, phishing and disingenuous institutions.
Gunhill Road has released a brand new song and video titled “Over The Radio Waves” just in time for World Radio Day 2024 (February 13). The song is a heartfelt tribute to the continuing influence of radio around the world and calls for broadcasters and listeners alike “to all stand together” in celebrating the 13th annual edition of the United Nations/UNESCO-designated international day.
This song is a genre-bending combination of jazz, rock and blues with a Broadway flair. Further energized by its provocative music video, “I Got a Line in New York City” is slightly abstract and even mystical – while, simultaneously, heart-tugging and down-to-earth. The engaging narrative puts a new twist on the classic story of a young person with dreams of making it on the stage facing the cold, harsh reality of the big time.
“Idiots” is an advance track from GUNHILL ROAD’s forthcoming fifth album. The song is catchy, provocative and packs a powerful punch. Enhanced by its captivating music video, “Idiots” is whimsical – while, at the same time, chillingly serious. An ear worm with a take-away!
I Know You're Real
(Spoken Version)
This animal welfare anthem is performed by Michael Harrison, the legendary radio personality, and Gunhill Road member, who also penned the lyrics.
I Know You're Real
(Sung Version)
Though similar to the spoken version, this spirited rendition is sung by our member, Brian Koonin; also a recording, Broadway, and concert performer.
Gunhill Road pays tribute to the victims of 9-11 commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the tragic attack. “My Friend is Going Away” appears on the “What Year Is THIS!” album.” The video takes the emotional song to a new dimension. It is a sad but hopeful look back at that unforgettable day with a strong element of love, hope and renewal for the future.
Gunhill Road on The Midnight Special
(Starting at 20 minutes, 20 seconds) from June 1st, 1973.
