A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

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.
