It's not my favourite from the album by any means but it's not bad as an opener. After what had come before for about 5 or 6 years, this track alone showed promise and gave hope for the future. Maybe trying too hard to be a jig - as Quo have had a tendency to do over the years - but it's lively enough. It was good live as I recall, certainly from Francis's solo tour, although I'm not keen on the orchestrated version from that Proms thingy where the keyboards largely drown out the strings. And pretty much everything else. But I guess that's a mixing issue. Not sure how long it stayed in the set after 1999. A couple of years maybe? I think would be a good song to throw in now and again as a change; like they do with one or two others. Yeah, OK this. 7/10  |

I like it, briefly opened the live set if I remember right
As with so much of the new band, I'm left wishing there is more thud. It's not a dissimilar song to HYB, but is clearly weaker for being too clean

Perhaps a left over from the Back to Back sessions? I think, this far down the road, anything that had a little bit of 'oomph' or was not totally cringeworthy was heralded as the new 4500 times!! If it wasn't the lowest point in their career then it must be good right? Nope. Its a poor track - period. Give me Shine On anyday.

I dont know , something about it reminds me of a christmas song , maybe it's just that time of the year. Listened to it on You Tube .. Roadhouse Blues popped up after it , Roadhouse put it in its place.

Like it a lot and like the album a lot. It was (and imo is) a heck of a lot better then ITAN and the albums after that.
