I get where railroad007 is coming from. There is a sort of banjo type sound in there. Presumably just the type of geetar someone was using or to do with the production. Or some such. Anyway, yes great song. I'm no expert and can't read music but it sounds like it's basically a blues. Using the blues scale throughout. Which is probably why I liked it even when I was only 16. Ballads at that age were considered, eh, what's the new millennium word for it? There probably isn't one. Not one that wouldn't cause offence to someone, somewhere in the known universe. And we can't have that. Not in Scotland anyway. Not now I notice someone mentioned Quo's top 10 ballads. Now that's what I call a challenge. Finding 10 Quo ballads that I'd actually listen to "What's the new millennium word for it?" Ballatastic?

I still think most ballads are bollox But bollox isn't very 21st century. And I'm reluctant to offend any gender specific individual who identifies as having a pair (or even if they don't) and believes that they shouldn't be used as a reference point for something I don't like.
