"Don't Give Up On Me" by Timbuk 3

Timbuk 3 were a folk rock duo comprised of a husband and wife team from Austin, Texas. They became a one-hit wonder in 1986 when their snappy tune, "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" reached #19.

It is hard to sustain a novel sound like Timbuk 3 on pop radio, but at least their one big hit introduced many others to their brand of quirky and intelligent music. 

Romping through their catalogue is always fun, and you'll come across several cuts like "Don't Give Up On Me" that will make you wonder why it wasn't pushed out to DJs. The track comes from their 1989 album, "Edge of Allegiance."
