What do I know about this artist? Not very much about Smyth, plenty about Henley, being a big Eagles fan and also a fan of his solo work.
What do I think of this single? Love it and it brings back some really nice memories. The duet between the two works excellently and I like the acoustic guitars.
What have I learned about this single? Well this is one I actually owned. I do love my ballads, and once Henley is involved, count me in. Seems it was the most successful single in Canada that year, and was a sort of reciprocation by Smyth for having worked on two of Henley’s albums.
My rating: A+++
