Lyrically, so far, it's in the Burl Ives envelope.

That bit about the Gambling Commission really reminds me of another song. Could it be Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri?

Atlantic City is the malign polyp on the underside of the scr*tum of the Universe BTW.

The harmonica is very like Neil Young's playing style.

by Guest Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:07 pm

Wonder if we'll ever hear the full group version?

I bet it'll be rubbish anyway.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:07 pm

Spooky fadeout.

Track 3 - Mansion on the Hill.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:10 pm

More mouth organ.

by Guest Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:11 pm

I just checked if this was the same Mansion on the Hill as Neil Young did on Ragged Glory.

It's not.
