One of those songs that have something for everyone. The tightly executed syncopation in the verses, Mendel and Hawkins' (usual) immaculate rhythm section, and Shiflett's glorious guitar solo.
There's something quite approachable about their music. It's almost familiar, and definitely not in a bad way. Side Pony is to this decade what I imagine The Byrds' Sweetheart Of The Rodeo was to the psychedelic '60s - an honest and unreserved tribute to the power of a clean melody.
Personal Picks: "How Good It Feels" stands out for me. Other favorites include "Call Off Your Dogs" and "Mistakes".
