Last fall Louise Burns played Vancouver storytelling night Raincity Chronicles. I remember being really drawn to her sweet vocals and careful delivery as she performed this song with just an acoustic guitar.
I recall thinking of the songs of the 50’s and how the sweet vocals, though often innocent and simple, got the point across is a delightful way, regardless of the subject matter.
Discovering this song, now complete with hand claps and tambourine, and great sounding snare, really just makes me happy. It's a bit of the Buddy Holly-era with a current twist.
