The band tries to kill the pre-SSDD jam, but Jerry is having no part of it and he plays on.

Jerry got some serious boogie goin' on. How did this gem escape our attention for so long?

Some nice harmonies and the mandolin fits in well.

For the most part, a very good version. Jerry plays some mean guitar. There is a spot where Jerry is supposed to be singing backup vocals, but leaves Brent to do it alone. Then there's the part where Brent is playing something you'd expect to hear during a boat chase scene on Miami Vice. Seriously out of place!

Bob has the vocal range and hits all the notes. The band does a solid job backing him up. Easily among the top 2 or 3 versions from the 90's.

Bob's voice is shot and he never should have attempted a song like this that demands such range and strain.
