One chord throughout ! Yet never dull...hypnotic,funky and primal. Always makes me picture three guitar pickers in a circle on a verandah, playing away just for fun.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, you better change your ways or you won't get to Heaven, eight, nine, ten, gonna stop at eleven, eleven just lays there and rhymes with seven.
Just heard this by Bill Wyman's outfit with vocal by Georgie Fame so had to listen to the original by JJ. It's so hypnotically insistent - so difficult to keep a simple riff interesting but this guy works musical miracles on a regular basis. I always get the feeling when I hear a new song by this guy that I already know it - it's like he's reminding you of something you forgot.
got my girls with me. got some fine french wine, and jj cale. my cup overfloweth

durch die vielen Gitarren wird der Song nie langweilig, jede hat irgendwie ihren eigenen Rhythmus, und alle zusammen machen alles so "groovy".
Da zuck's in den Beinen :-)

In my opinion this song is the most grooviest song by J.J. Cale...
The rhythm guitar ist just incredible, the short cord strumming....
The whol laid back feeling, the voice,...the stunning guitar solo...the sound...
Definitely one of the best songs ever!!!

@DaWermut when you listen, you hear a lot of overdub guitars. it is amazing!
Only the creaking Bassline is a song for himself!
Ach Du bist ja auch aus Deutschland. Na egal. Dann verstehen es wenigstens alle! ;-)
