I'm here because I just watched an episode of American Dad where Stan didn't let his daughter to go to Jim's concert 😃 but then he totally falled in love with Jim's music 😛 great music btw

I love the way this song insinuates Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone," right down to the "I know I know I know" breakdown without seeming like a ripoff. Beautiful.

Man I finally played this on my Allison towers and holy shit that bass line is soo sick! She absolutely kills it!

Very cool. So smooth and livid at the same time. Very solid band.

It sounds like I’m in the final scene of Guy Ritchies film (in the pub with whiskey and desert eagle). Another level of music and performance. Goosebumps.

Love how it builds in completely until the big finish. Awesome version of a great tune. Whoooo!

The letter "Y" HATES this song, but only sometimes.

Something similar about David Crosby's tone in his voice, yet this guy is intriguing and he's definitely unique.
