Harpswell Hootenanny 2011, Part 3: Sail On

Keeping it brief, we're pushing onward through the last-minute mixing tweaks and we're into the middle third of the group recordings from this past March.  I think it's fair to say that this here number would've been the Song Voted Most Fun to Play by the participants of Hoot '11.  Songs like this are your purest, basic hootenanny fodder and, what with all the Lionel Ritchie visions dancing through one's head, it's hard not to get your goof on.  It's kinda funny that such a country pop hit would've sprung from such a smooth funky beast as the Commodores but I suppose that being Alabama boys, it was in their blood.  Credit also to the Supersuckers, who play a nice version that inspired this one in no small part. 

Sail On:


Bonanos: Wurlitzer; Cardillo: Bass; Evitts: Drums; Sorkin: lead guitar, vocals; Keating: Rhythm guitar, steel, vocals
