[witchgreeneyes]

Thanks so much for posting this -what a blast from a long ago past :) Just bought "Reelsville" on eBay -disappointed it doesnt have this track on it! i wonder why not -and Shout and Deliver?

@FOX9746 You're right.

I assume you're an Aussie.

The Reels did covers of numerous songs that should have been on vinyl and there for future generations to experience.

Aside from their own original work, they should have been up there with other Aussie and Kiwi bands with equal recognition of their brilliance.

Such is life.

[Thecurbstomper]

Impossible to dislike this song.

[FOX9746]

The Reels did a great slow pop rock cover of CCR's Bad Moon Rising in 1986, see if you can find it. It is as good as their other songs.

[drewey07]

amazingly tropical.

[mooody12]

Not only did that guy's friend's dad write this song, and the guy below me, dad was thanked on the sleeve. They also shook my dad's hand outside the Ala Glen hotel, Sydney, circa 1981, and you know what...it was total cool.

[Benneville71]

They thanked my Dad on the sleeve of this album. I thought that was so cool
