He's back in Macca mode.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Although I think he's trying to be the Beach Boys.

It sounds like it's going to break into Tiny Dancer any moment.

That's not a good thing.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Awkward changes in tempo and style. It's not really working.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It sounds like it's going to break into Tiny Dance any moment.

I kept thinking that too.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Track 10 - Didn't I?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Hold on. This is on Snakes and Ladders as well.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

He did covers of his own songs?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It doesn't sound massively different from that version, from what I can remember of it.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Neither version has much of what you'd call dramatic tension.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

This version has a nice piano on it though.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Last track - New Street Blues.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

This sounds more promising.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's rocking a bit.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

And then his voice comes in, singing it exactly the same as if it is on all the other tracks.

[Nightjar]

I think I've been listening to en entirely different version altogether.

[Guest]

It's that horrible keyboard noise! It's the sound of 70s singer song writer hell!!!!!!!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Mr. Universe.

Inept guitar playing. Too many notes.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

This'd be a good song if Tina Turner was singing it.
