Who plays which solo on Cowboy Song? Both rock, but the tone and intensity of the 2nd solo seems slightly better than the first.

I've dug this cut since Jailbreak first came out. Also love the pictures of Brian and Scott on the back, playing the LP Deluxes. Wonder if they really used those on the record?

This is a great, great song. Way back in the mid 80's, my college fraternity band used to do this.

I'm pretty sure that's right. It's even more apparent to me on the Peel Sessions version, the difference in their styles. Gorham had the more laid-back California approach, Robbo the more in-your-face, reheaded-Scottish-teenage-drunk thing goin' on LOL!

I often compare Phil to Lennon in terms of songwriting quality and to Springsteen in terms of that street poet, champion-of-the-regular Joe persona, 'cept Phil did it dressed like a cock rocker LOL. He was a great man. I miss him.

Definitely Gorham first, then Roberston.

yes, phil was a great songwriter, much better than most.

i just read "paranoid" by mick wall (kerrang/metal journalist), his 1st taste of herion was from phil. a great seedy rock underbelly book.
