tough not to stand up and dance to this one ...
Two greats.... They sound so good together !
"Too Long In Exile" - awesome album, sorely underappreciated.

My all-time favorite version of this tune. Lost the CD and bought another copy just to have this song again. Perfection!
Lifeisgood, Peoplesuck!
This is why you revisit the classics! A remake easily worthy of airplay and probably the best version of this song out there. Very nice paring these two together, could listen to this all day!

Everytime I listen to this my foot starts tapping and my head waggles, can't control it. And if course you got to do air guitar and make faces at the end. 👏👏
