This gives me nostalgia for two reasons. The movie it was in was a childhood favorite. I have fond memories of being in Choir during elemetary school. Just a good and positive song.
Outstanding effort considering they don't have Michael McDonald to back the lyrics. My ear says their instruments are spot on.
At work, someone in the shop was blasting Helmet's album "Meantime" on their stereo. That one took me back. Great album
Is that Jerry Reed with his cocaine glasses on?? Edit: thought was a pic at first. Youtube is junk lately for latency. I enjoy Jerry's guitar and lyrics.
He's held in vert high regards as a picker. I went in deep on a few Country guitarists a couple years ago. Glenn Campbell, Chet Atkins, Roy Clarke (my favorite), and Reed. Glenn & Roy have the most out & out talent (IMO). Roy could play anything with a string on it (banjo, fiddle, guitar) and play it better than most anyone. Glenn is the epitome of technical. Campbell just wrecking here. Clarke being Clarke.
You know this song by a different artist. This is the original. It would later be covered by Aretha Franklin, Chris Cornell and of course Sinead O'Connor
Imagine the rage if that video was made today with the fish flopping out of water towards the end of the video...
