Riff that's clearly a rewrite of Pretty Woman.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:27 pm

Is this Jeff or Roy? The Orbison riff suggests Jeff but, from the vocals, it's anyone's guess.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:27 pm

Wikipedia says it's Jeff.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:27 pm

This is the most ELOesque track on this album, so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:29 pm

Some sort of Middle Eastern sounding instrument. Is it a claviolet?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:30 pm

I've just Googled the word, "Claviolet," and it doesn't seem to exist, so that's probably not the name of the instrument.

Track 8. Ben Crawley Steel Company.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:30 pm

Bev sings. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:31 pm

Or, rather, speaks. shifty

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:31 pm

He's making Ringo sound vocally gifted. shifty

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:32 pm

He doesn't sound like a man from Sparkhill, Birmingham. shifty

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:33 pm

He started off as Denny Laine's drummer. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:34 pm

Track 9. The Words of Aaron.

This is definitely Jeff.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:34 pm

Sounds a bit Bee Gees on the chorus. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:35 pm

It's all gone a bit oompah oompah.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:36 pm

I'd say this is Jeff's best song on the album, so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:36 pm

Mostly because Roy's not playing two hundred instruments on it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:37 pm

Something that sounds like a harpsichord but clearly isn't.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:37 pm

Now there's a flute.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:38 pm

Final track. My Marge.
