Right out of the tradition of Elvis Costello, this bittersweet ballad juxtaposes jaded lyricism with touching and carefully restrained ensemble playing that recalls the terrific finesse of The Band.

Couldn't stop listening to this when I first got it. It's nice to see such rich arrangements with real hard rock, no prog affectations here. The tasteful production really highlights their talent. Jonathan Kemp & The Electric Bretheren
