When it breaks into that heavy groove blues guitar solo makes the song for me. Magnificent. Truly magnificent. I adore the original album version but boy did they deliver the goods on it during the reunion shows. Sen bloody sen sational!

Another classic - has that serious groove and tone. Great on the ‘Live’ album too 👍

It really came alive on the reunion tours with the extended ending. Top stuff.

I love how you can hear how Rossi turns up the volume control in the transition to the solo.

When it breaks into that heavy groove blues guitar solo makes the song for me. Magnificent. Truly magnificent. Yep love this lead break, it's the kind of blues rock solo that Rossi did so well and that I want to hear, but by the 1980's kind of all fizzled out a bit. This is a track I'd love to see back in the live set in full after Little Lady, I've always loved the song, the message resonates, the tune and solo fantastic, getting maximum transition impact after the quieter drawn out opening. I think Rossi sometimes thinks a lot of fans look at the 1970-1976 period or FF and all they see is the Quo album or Alan and John, but for me at the reunion gigs for example, as great as it was to see Alan and John, to hear Rossi play the lead breaks of Most Of The Time, Railroad, Blue Eyed Lady, Just Take Me etc were as much a buzz as anything else. I'm not sure if he realises that as much as he should, but we love his playing, his writing and style. I've always felt this would have been a great style of playing for him to do on an all out blues solo album, think he kind of almost went there again with Electric Arena, but not quite. Anyway, you can give me some of the greats, Rory Gallagher, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, modern pups like Joanne Shaw Taylor and Joe Bonamassa, who are both great at times by the way, but Rossi writing and playing blues rock like above and on things like Don't Waste My Time etc, I'll take every day of the week! Melodic, direct, in control, doesn't need a Sat Nav to go all round the Wrekin to get where he needs to go, just hits the spot perfectly.
