Great song! Any chance you could put up one of their other 12″s – “somewhere in the world there’s a cowboy smiling”? Another great one…
I will see what I can do, Kevin 🙂
👍👍
Thanks Paul. An underrated band. I prefer the song “I’m Your Man” to this one.
You’re welcome, Todd 🙂
I’m looking forward to hearing this later. I am aware of the single, but i haven’t heard it in years.
I will play this loud.
Thanks Paul 🙂
