ASD Music Review:

Soft guitars open to a 32-beat intro that includes background vocals. Great dance beat. A contemporary country/rock sound. Tune is easy to find with strong leads played by organ, saxophone, and guitar. Plenty of fill notes from the same instruments plus keyboard. The tune is a seventies Ringo Starr hit that will be recognized by most dancers. Could be a rocker of a singing call. Vernon does his best-ever vocal using proper word meter.
