The songs Chris wrote and sang were often lighter, bouncier affairs with much more mature arrangements than anything I would come up with. Where my writing tended to move from verse to chorus without a lot of musical interest to support the transition, Chris was forever bringing in these little bits that just made everything more . . . adult?
I don't know if that's the best word, but there is a more refined sensibility to his writing, then and now. He and Issac had been playing together at local blues festivals for ages before I had met either of them, and it was and remains a solid partnership. They really come together on Most Days.
Just listen to the little measure/drum fill in the change-up from verse to chorus. So cool. And the two of them singing harmonies on the second and third chorus:
pen to paper
inspiration
can't find the words
Angel brothers, yo! And that monster bend to kick off the guitar solo! We are SUCH a good band!
