Yep... that's a good one.
Nice steel chops from the RT's.
Had to listen 2x.... the phone rang on the first time through.
Yeah, that's some nice writing.

OK, I agree with everything Noel said about the production sounding professional, I'm thinking what studios did you have this mixed and mastered in? Plus the song has the feel of more subtle parts than the usual verse/chorus that's available to us unless we dig in and do some work to massage some parts and instruments. Great producer,
writer,singer, harmony singer, guitar player.
Good song.
Kenny

Outstanding Tom...everything.
Since becoming crowned a septuagenarian this year I (Bud - not the younger wife!) can immensely appreciate the lyric.
I've mentioned it before but you say so much in so relatively few lines. Everything that needs to be said is said with no excess filler to drag around. Tight and concise yet always thought provoking...bit of a Zen thing there.
And as always, a lovely soundstage.
A sweet addition to our SC playlist!

Tom,
Listened a few times now... its a superb production as others have said.I really like the way you`ve given the song time to build...and honoured that feeling you woke up with to craft one of the best "oldsters" songs around.
