Maybe.

Isn't that weirdly similar to Neil Young's This Note's For You? gasp

Track 5 - Southbound Again.

Wikipedia says this is similar to a Bob Dylan song.

by Guest Thu Oct 29, 2020 7:17 pm

Not sure there's much of a song there to be honest.

Really really like JJ Cale now.

Isn't it just generic blues shuffle #3?

Track 6 - Sultans of Swing.

The hit.

I can't hate this.

by Guest Thu Oct 29, 2020 7:20 pm

That was absolutely nothing.

Sounds far more assertive than the other tracks.

It's a nice time-capsule record of the '70s pub rock scene.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Oct 29, 2020 7:21 pm

I saw a video the other day, where someone was trying to track down the pub where this is set.

It wasn't clear if he'd succeeded.
