Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Criminally underrated. They get into a loping-along groove and don't quit. Why this isn't in the top 10 is baffling. What Jerry and Phil are doing around the 6 minute mark is so tasty.

With David Nelson on vocals/guitar. Enjoyable living room feel.

Twangy goodness. Really good recording -- those guitars pop!

The solo is sublime. The new guy is not bad, either.

The first time I heard this, I said out loud, "this is ridiculous!" As in, ridiculously great. One of the most outrageous displays of just exactly perfect. Astounding.
