Thanks for the bit of time travel! :) 

 

takes me back to a very specific weekend - living in jackson hole, wyoming at the time (mid-90's).  my friend scott and i took a weekend fly-fishing/camping trip up into yellowstone, and i had forgotten my box of tapes at the house.  freddy jones was the only tape in the car, and due to no radio reception, the only music we listened to all weekend.  good times man, good times!  {#Cowboy}

Was bland then and still bland now. Guitar delay trick is the only thing that keeps me interested.

This blew me away hearing it in regular rotation on 'XRT back in the day.  I got to see them perform this at the base of the gondola in Steamboat Springs, CO a few years back, great time.

Littel Victories is still a great album.

I remember this whole album as being pretty good. I played it pretty hard in the late 90's.

Interesting how 3 versions of this song are on RP, but none in the playlist.  I think this is a great classic song.  How could anyone not like this?  It's brilliant.

Yep me too. But I'll go a step further and say it is borderline annoying.

The solo reminds me of the background music in Metroid on the original NES  {#Biggrin}

What happened to these guys. This was a really good album. Refreshingly different at the time. Where did they go?

Great to hear this again!  This was on heavy rotation when I was a college jock (89.1, WONC!).  Used to crank it up in the booth!

Could it sound anymore like the Boomtown Rats
 

The answer is...Yes!   Yes, they could sound more like the Boomtown Rats.  Where's the "Clemons-esque" sax featured on several Rats' tunes?  Where's the smirking Geldof-like vocals? 

Here's the description of FJB on allmusic.com:

>>The Freddy Jones Band are roots-rock specialists in the tradition of groups like Little Feat, the Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers Band. Having grown up in Chicago, the group has no particular aversion to blues, and much of their sound could be described as solid blues rock.<<

The next time you here "Rat Trap" or "Joey's on the Street Again", I doubt you'll be thinking of this cut.

I think this may be a little cleaner playing than Steve Howe. BTW, I do love Steve.

Why did I always think this was Darden Smith?  Did he do a cover?  Say - how 'bout some Darden?

Music fits the lyrics so well.  Clean drum work, cleaner guitar.  Mmmmmm.  Always have to pause the work and daydream a little when this comes on.

BTW, Hugh Hewitt uses a clip from this track as bumper music on his radio show.

Just got to see these guys live recently! They're back together after a long hiautus and they put on a FANTASTIC show. Just as tight as the sound here. It was a small venue and the $10 tickets was nice too.

This is somewhat ironic or timely – I finally got around to snarfing my FJB CD into iToonz just this morning.

It seems to me these guys have a lot of talent, but never delivered it consistently enough to live up to their full potential. They have a number of songs that are well done and quite inspired, yet they have a good number that can’t climb out of the mediocre pop category. Still, me loves me some FJB every now and again. I'd love to hear them live some time.
