    Is Quiet Dawn available as an instrumental version? I hear a great track underneath a terrible vocal.
    Attica Blues is great. It´s easy to imagine a 90´s cover.

    The vocal is the best thing about it, Leo! Oh well, vive la difference...

    Thanks for the tip on the '90s cover, Teddy. I need to hear that. '90s nostalgic revivalism is huge right now.
