I keep wondering if it's Steely Dan or some group like that -it's got a very nasal 'Alabam' repeat refrain in it. Not 'Alabama', but 'Alabam'.

But closer in style than country music. Now I've got "Eagle Rock" running in my brain. Somehow Daddy Cool's Eagle Rock goes along with the beach. I'm sure that beign the only other Aussie here you'll be the only person here who understand the reference though :-)) |

Great to have an answer. I'm amazed that there are so many songs about Alabama. I've played a heap on You tube but needed the answer before I could haear the right one. Thanks again. Sorry for the delay in replying - been away at the beach for a few days. I'm pleased that I could help. It's what first came to mind when you asked the question (I'm psychic g) but as soon as you mentioned a nasal sound I was sure. ;-) FWIW I really like the song, as well as a lot of Neil Young songs from that era. He plays lead guitar like nobody else - almost discordant at times but never enough to be unpleasant or jarring, just enough to make me sit up and listen. The lead in "Words" is sublime and the solos in "Like a Hurricane" aren't too shabby either. I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Here in NZ after a pretty cold and miserable spring apparently summer's going to arrive properly in the next few days. I'll believe it when I see it. Cheers, -- Shaun.
