It doesn't swing at all, anywhere, the solos are atrocious, Morrison drops nearly a whole bar in one place and is only able to avoid looking like a complete t** by the fact that the band, despite their complete lack of chops, manages to pick him up again.
How this recording was ever allowed to see the light of day is an astonisihing inditement on the low production values that existed during that era. The producers (Van Morrison and Lewis Merenstein) should be ashamed of themselves (although Morrison's complete lack of self awareness would make this unlikely).
The song (which I loath) is on my 'won't play' list, along with Canteloupe Island, Waternelon Man and Fever.
But that's just me.[/quote]
No it's not just you Bilbo. Add also Brown eyed Girl, I'll never play it again
