Allen Collins‘ dirty, swaggering riff paired with Ronnie Van Zant‘s darkish depiction of habit are each bit as related and charming at the moment as they had been after they had been launched 50 years in the past. Having toured with Clutch for a few years and having been a fan of their music for even longer, I’ve lengthy wished to work along with Neil.
