Red Mosquito

Ole is good from note one.

Let it Ride, easy.

That's what she said.

Let It Ride is pretty damn good.

Its one of those songs I don't think about often, but when I hear it, I have to listen to it three times in a row. The first 2 minutes are fairly average with the verse, chorus melody repeated a few times with the hint of a jam to follow each time. Maybe this was a purposeful cocktease? After each of the choruses, the song teters on breaking wide open, but doesn't until the 2 minute mark when the jailbreak finally happens. Everyone's really firing on all cylinders now. Ed also raises the bar of this song at this point with some really great phrasing. Easily one of the band's best post 2000 performance.
