Sounds like if Daniel Lanois had produced a Gordon Lightfoot album. O' Canada!

I don't know why but I have TRIED to give this song a chance and it annoys me as much today as it did when I 1st heard it here on RP.  I see I am in the minority so I will just chalk it up to an opinion thing....3 note range songs always make me crazy....

I haven't heard much of his stuff, but boy, this song tells an articulate and searing story - lyrically, a lot like Dylan and Cohen. And someone else wrote, very Madrugada-ish, and I agree.  Powerful stuff...  I like it a lot!{#Music}
