Fun video. There was some good guitar work going on.
That song sounds as though it was written a long time ago.
It sounds like a working class Folk Song. It may have also worked as a Country Western performance, but at a slower pace.
I could imagine someone with a booming Johnny Cash type voice doing it.
This song by Christie is one of the few recordings where I can clearly hear the lead’s British accent.
Usually, when Brit’s sing rock, you can barely tell they aren’t American.
Yes, a Johnny Cash type, or maybe even Buck Owens or Dwight Yoakam, who balladeered about Bakersfield.
