Saw Rog inMerthyr Wales!!! We told him the right way to pronounce Rhymney!!! He was bemused!!!! Great bloke!!

Little Big Town & Sugarland did a cover version of this song that I also like. This is the very first time I've heard Roger do this one. I love it!!

This was originally performed by Dream Academy.

He should have done " Drugstore Truck Driving Man" which he wrote to diss Ralph Emery, the host of this TV show. :)

Love, love this song and the original DA it’s a very evocative conjuring of place and time.
Not a song than many solo performers could easily or convincingly convey I think when you consider the full warm production of the original, but Roger sings this very well. I think its definetly the folksinger in him shining through once more. 🙂

THANKS ROGER! I hope you are doing well and playing music. I remember those Cellar Door shows like they were yesterday, American and Catholic University shows too! Beautiful.

[Byrds]

Its good that he and Ralph got over the B.S. It was a hard changeing time.

Thanks for posting!!! Are there any more songs?

[lamper]

Squeeze or Fountains of Wayne could've done a great version too-too late now!

Travesty. Listen to the original version & you'll understand.
