The song is good and is accurate about the "Hard Times" in New Orleans. Music is good too but the singing is too fast to give you the "Hard Times" feelings the misic trying to convey. Take the song to "Grandpa Elliott" in N.O. and let him do it. See what I mean - play "Stand By Me" on YouTube by Roger Ridley and "Grandpa Elliott" 14,301, 177 plays.
