great song like the irish feel to it [I'm kinda sorry mm1972] but I'm honour and duty bound to do this...]
You're just going to have to explain what [to you] an 'irish feel' is - because if you think this is it, then you're so wrong it's no wonder you think it's a 'great song...' [Imho, it ain't - its merely 'Country-by-numbers', a la FR]
I despair. I really do. Do other countries have a 'feel' as well? I mean I'd struggle to think of something with an english feel.

You perhaps don't remember Fine Fine Fine, Joanne and Wild Side of Life ? All Country songs only they were the Frantic Four!! But they weren't bonus tracks. A bonus is something deserved and nobody deserves this, nobody. I gave it a second chance and it was worse. My God...has Rossi gone deaf?

'The defence rests, y'honour' All Around My Hat? Nah, sorry to you too gav - it's just a folk song that will have the 'feel' of whoever is singing it. G

I think Rossi likes to annoy Quo-fans from time to time... he just couldn't resist to put at least one track he knew it would annoy us on the album. He just had to do it... couldn't help himself. But deep in his heart he loves us all, I'm pretty sure . I love him all the same...

My dad likes this song! (He's 89 years old). Whatever you think of the song, it's written quite clever. The melody get's stuck in your mind quite easily. But it shouldn't be released under the Quo name.

People always talk about Francis but Andy co-wrote this! He didn't co-write anything from We Talk Too Much.

a real rocker It sounds more like something he did deliberately to annoy fans who in his eyes have or had too much critisism. I don't remember who mentioned that first...but it's something I get more and more convinced of. Well, I can't blame him completely...

I still quite like it. Though Francis improves further with his country style songs when he completely loses any Quo-edged tinge to them. The thing is, a song like Fine Fine Fine all those years back in the age of the classic original line-up sounds much closer to 'proper' country music. Probably even though they didn't intend that at all at the time.
A couple of other examples of Quo country songs that manage to not sound especially Quo like are Dirty Water (a particular all time favorite of mine) There is also Someone Show Me Home which is quite good. Also post 86 there is, say, Blessed are the Meek which is a very nice song that offers something different once again.
There are a few songs on Francis duet album with Hannah that also are so much better for not having a Quo-like element to them. Those that Francis releases/ or has released that do have a Quo tinge to them, tend to dumb them down a bit and make them sound immediately reminiscent of something he/Quo have released before.. and released before that..etc, etc.
