Common Rider says: Common Rider's greatest strength was arguably also their greatest weakness: they traversed a wide variety of styles. In this case their musical meanderings paid off with a charming homage to seventies classic rock. The band was listening to "a lot of Big Star and Exile on Main Street when this was written." Philip Hill provides the Southern Rock stratocaster sweetness.
