Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

really locked in on this. The lost sailor is just beautiful, Brent's rhodes playing is magical

short but absolutely shredding. You'll seldom hear them get as nasty loud as you do at the climax of this TOO. And seamleassly goes into the best Stella Blue ever, to boot.

Great take cucamonga. I love 71 Sugar Mags when the boys would sing the verses in harmony. This one's a heater, Billy having a field day
