    I love how this song just drives the hell out of a minor. literally one chord the entire time lol.

      Great analysis! ...The one chord wrapped in road-base with speed bumps covered in velvet. Building and falling intensity.

    I have listened to him for a very long time. His greatest gift to blues rock music Etc is his ability to build a blues rock crescendo. In his songs like this one he's able to complete an entire musical thought. It is not quick to wit like something aimed at at modern Market. In my day it was Devo.
    The complete opposite and just as contemplating.
    I am so glad he shares his music it is much needed. It is so Broad and soulful
