Just Joe and Gerry and a bunch of studio guys. <br /><br />A&M didn't care; the single was a stiff. But "country rock"? I don't hear that at all. <br /><br />Whatever.raphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603930950971861594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-66545904487159279942009-07-13T22:34:04.579-04:002009-07-13T22:34:04.579-04:00I've been looking for this for ages.

I have the 45 but have yet to figure out how to turn them into mp3s. Alas, it is also available on YouTube with a totally unrelated video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTa81gNRh-Q).<br /><br />Kudos for finding it. Definitely a little masterpiece. Rafferty and Egan had a real Lennon/McCartney groove when they wrote together. Separately, not at all. Love the bass throughout, as well as the sitar-like middle section.Mister Pleasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525855662696903836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-15485293826143774142009-07-13T13:29:23.747-04:002009-07-13T13:29:23.747-04:00Wow.

For some reason, record companies always think that the follow-up should sound as much like the original hit as possible - a strategy that rarely works, sales-wise.dave™©https://www.blogger.com/profile/15303249276504183167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-14456955162376658112009-07-13T12:28:50.798-04:002009-07-13T12:28:50.798-04:00Click on the divshare logo on the far right.
