This is a great piece of work. With some classic stealing,but also surprisingly original twists and turns. I think this is an absolutely fantastic track.Love it...really really love it.Thanks guys...another one for my record collection.The permanent section of it,that is..🥳
I’ve always loved this song since I got this CD back in 2005. His voice is so beautiful in this song and it’s always been my favorite off this album. At some point in the early 2000’s I established with myself that he was indeed my favorite Drummer and to this day he still is and will always be. I’m a lifelong Springsteen Fan and got heavily into U2 in high school when The Joshua Tree came out in 1987 …so I was always loved Max Weinberg and Larry Mullen Jr. but as I became a huge fan of the Foo Fighters in 1999 and the love for their music only grew more with each album release, it was apparent to me that he was a cut above most Drummers in the History of music. The way he pounded those drums, it was strong, it was loud, it was pure energy. I’m so glad I got to talk to him after his show when he toured for this Coattail Riders album in 2005 and I got to tell him he was by far my favorite Drummer. Not that it made any difference in his life, but I’m glad I got to say it to him. He was so down to earth and a regular guy upon meeting him which makes us love him even more. Long Live the Hawk 🥁
This is an evolved version of Taylor. Proving he would be able to do it all singing song writing frontman Wildman thinking man. The world is less cool without him.
This was the first song I ever heard him do with the Coattail riders, he shared it on MySpace! Used to be one of my profile pic songs!! Miss you Hawk! 😢❤️🦅
There is so much early Police records tribute in here, with its' own groove. He rides that bell on the ride cymbal like Stewart Copeland and that background guitar lick is right out of the beautiful Andy Summers playbook. This is a truly great album. An amalgam of influences that made it's own signature. Gonna really miss hearing more from him. We liked all the same tunes--feel like I lost a friend in his prime.
I was finally able to come and listen to this, one of my favorite albums , today. I knew it'd be hard, but it was worth it. Cya on the other side my friend.
