The guitars are satisfyingly propulsive and crunchy, as well, which I always enjoy. A++ would add to a roadtrip playlist.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/226935237&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Christopher Strong<\/i>, is not as lightweight as <i>Why Don&#8217;t We Go Out Tonight<\/i>, but I&#8217;m still very fond of it. Based on a TRUE STORY, i.e. Sea Legs&#8217; frontman Byron Knight&#8217;s chance encounter with Katherine Hepburn while traveling in America in 1998, the lyrics are bittersweet &#8211; Hepburn was clearly feeling the sting of her declining years &#8211; but the tune is very neatly constructed. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/162187015&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Take A Little For Yourself<\/i> is more mellow than the other two, and is ALSO a true story, though one about a fatally jealous love affair, not a Hollywood star.
