Missed this until I saw the review today (must have been half awake first time) puts me in mind of a Richard Torrence album I have - very retro but isn't everything? (I still can't get used to the revival of Parkas with manky fake fur collars - have you got that fashion in the US?) but this is good stuff and nothing like Parkas. ftlpope

Love the opening guitar riff. Vocals work well with the style of music. I would love to hear some female harmonies in the chorus. This tune live would rock!
