    It's all about the writing. Some of the best lyrics and melodies in the history of music.
    Their music means so much to my life 🙂 Thank You

    That first top ten single "Try" sounded unlike anything else on the radio at the time. Especially true of Jim's vocal. The excellence of the writing and performance were undeniable whether you were interested in country music or not. Good on these guys for sticking to their vision.

      Well, maybe listen to Spandau Ballet's, True, then put on Try. You might change your assertion.

    5 days in July.
    Banded at 12. Travelled the world forever. 3-4000 audience. For me, harmonically, vocally this album was one of the most seasoned, lyrical and making Queen St. an exit point, forever, and beyond. Thank you.
