Yeah,nzoz1980! Cool song! Great title for a song!

[nzoz1980]

@cbfall thank you!

James Reyne always copped a pasting & was the butt of many jokes for his singing style ... but this effort shows that he actually had ability. It's a beautiful song. Thanks Ryan - J

[nzoz1980]

No worries mate ;)

[bruchesco]

Is it my imagination or was Australia a better place in the 80's? Pokies have killed pub music and there's almost nothing left.

I saw him live at the Vangaurd in Newtown a few years ago. He is stunning. If he'd been born in England he'd be as big as Sting.

@sebbbo77

to school for cool seebbo couldnt agree more but just like james reyne you'll always have your critics with those remarks mate- chill down some bring him back to the australain spotlight and then compare him with the more reputable australian singers cheers mate

@phileustace

a very valid point he's no elvis ,jebus or john lennon but he's our home grown fella and deserve's his tributes

along with the rest of the band- and through my ears he's top gun aussie performer cheers

[phileustace]

Come on Sebbo ... "As good as Elvis?? and John Lennon??" ... are you out of your mind? Sure .... James Reyne is a top bloke and a GOOD singer but hes not of the same qualities as John Lennon or Elvis. I think you're dishing out too much fame .... I bet if James Reyne read that himself he would laugh it off (if I assume he is as modest as he is) or otherwize he'd keep it for his ego. Settle down Sebbo ! ha ha ha ..... James Reyne is up there but not that high mate come on ! Get real !

[sebbbo77]

"Arrrghhhhh yeaaaah Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama ...

We got-REALLY-no-place-to GOOOOOO"

[sebbbo77]

I reckon James Reyne is a great singer. Up there with the best of them like Elvis, John Lennon, Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel - just to name a few. His distinct style is what sets him apart from manufactured varieties like John Farnham, The MOnkeys etc etc and of course today's trash.

I went to a concert in an ampitheatre in Brisbane in 1985. I was a free concert and they did the whole sirocco album. Best concert of my life.
