Haven't heard this tune in almost 20 years, and with slight prodding I can pick up the lyrics for each verse and remember the licks as they come along and move me like they did so many years ago. Thanks so much for uploading this beautifully awesome tune!
Jon Butcher!! One of my all time favorites!! Great singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Had some great success but very underrated. Saw him rock out the Living Room in Providence, RI many times!!
This is my favorite song from his Wishes album, just dig the whole groove of this tune. The record as a whole is a gem, his finest work in my humble opinion,
Love this band, I dismissed them back in the day when they played at a local bar, took me years later to reconcile they were the same band I once dissed.
I'd like to see a project with Jon and Frank Marino. They're two guys who traded mass marketing success for the integrity of their art. The Underappreciated. Someone give me the numbers of their management. :)
This guy never got enough attention, he was a great singer and musician.
You're absolutely right on the recognition but he's STILL a great singer and musician.
Love this song - one of-- myFav's- can relate, especially at that time! Killer Lp!
Just as relevant today as in 1987! Such a great album and kick ass band. Saw them at the now defunct Bayou in Washington DC same tour

We need the whole Wishes LP up on here. C'mon people .... !!
Jon was a bright spot in the middle of the garbage that was rolling in from England at the time :P
Thanks for posting John Butcher Axis's music from "Wishes" my fav.
Somebody needs to get JB back into the forefront of American music consciousness...JB is awesome.
I drove from Houston to New York in the late 80's. I wore out my Living Color and Axis cassettes...

Reminds me of Tommy Bolin….Gary Moore vibe…
