Have I mentioned he sounds like Tom McRae?

The CD, however, has an odly appropriate title.

Actually, you had already said it again. Go get in your car or something and leave the rest of us in peace, please.

A little over-sensitive, but the chorus is neat.

This is another entry which's comments I've avoided, because I first heard of him on (click here)Acoustic Cafe, where Rob Reinhart played "3000 Miles" - and I totally related to it. It was a travelogue of life.

I recorded an entire cassette of music from a local Eugene, Oregon radio station (which later caved to top 40 crap), and Ellis Paul's "3,000 Miles" was there, in addition to a local artist's "Crazy Man" (and I can't right now come up with the artist, but I promise, if you dig deeply enough, you'll find it and it'll be worth the work, because the man's incredible.)

Bingo! I like this song, but deep down I feel the exact same way as you.

Yes, we heard your dissent the first time...

I love the distinctive voice and the lyrics. OK, so 'pop open' is an interesting image for lips, but "Falling like a thief from a roof" and "Dances like nobody's watching" are just wonderfull.

I have this CD- I played it alot at first. But then it started sounding the same. In small doses okay. But I will say, this guy is good looking (per CD photos!)....
