He's not a real good singer, and he admits it!
I've seen him live 4 times and he has not done this song once!
In an interview he even said he was proud of the song, but that he's no singer.
Thing I like about this song is that the 3 electric guitar parts are all so different sounding, then there's the lead & acoustic.
Great layers.

But he had something to say on this song and put himself out there. The song doesn't require a technical singer. He's at least as good as Bob Dylan here lol.

Anyway I hadn't listened to this in forever but it resonated with me today.

My favorite show I saw of his, was at the Chicago Theater.
Mountain(!) was the opener. Leslie West was still really good, he was in good voice and holy cow, did he lose weight!
They played 3 songs together at the end of the night.
That reminded me of my favorite Mountain tune. It was really good that night, but sadly, it was long after Felix died. He sang it so well.
