Straight Into Darkness

Описание: "Tom tells Paul Zollo that “Sometimes it takes a lot of work. Sometimes the songs won’t reveal themselves to you until you find the right sound and the right recording of it. And this one was like that. You couldn’t really get everybody grooving the same way until we went over to the piano, and then everybody instinctually found what to play. But that’s part of working with a group.”

Today's episode is dedicated to the sublimely brilliant Straight Into Darkness; track two from side two of Long After Dark.

You can listen to the song here:    • Straight Into Darkness
