I guess this is the "alt take" as I'm going with my guide vocal because I think it was more Dylanish than Leon's take. I tried to be on the right side of parody - hope it works. Leon - lyrics and backing vocal. I sang, played rhythm, and lead gtr & harmonica.

I dig Leon's vocals of course but you have something special happening too. Man, great lyrics! Love the harp and guitar work too. Enjoyed! Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

Throughout. The production works well. Sort of "defines an era". This sounds like a lost track from The Band. The vocal is nice! The ending harp is terrific - perfect ending... Y'all always deliver. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

This is the first time I`ve heard you lead the vocal, Peter and I like your twang- sure its Dylanesque, but its still all yours! The rollicking backing is just right for the song - which is catchy as well as smart. Cool, very cool. Robert Last edited by Robertkc; 10/15/18 01:37 PM.

As Robert so well stated, "Leon does that wry observation thing as well as anyone I can think of" And, you nailed that Dylanesque vocal feel. Something we should hear more of! Nice guitar, write, vocals, harp...nice everything. Well done y'all!!! J&B Our Music - Audio & Videos
