Instamatic - Summer Drive (Don Henley vs The Cars)

from Black Block (2021) by fingertrouble aka Reality Engine

about

I wrestled to whether include this - that Don Henley extraction is a nightmare. Friends and I peered at it for weeks like some broken engine - it SHOULD work, it's in the right key, etc. But something about either the exctraction or his vocal is off, and I don't have the musical chops to make it work 100%.

Shame because I think the feel is there, even though like a few tracks on this sort-of-album, it has almost zero genre clash. The Cars track has real depth and gravitas after Live Aid, so it brings a sort of ennui to Don's vocal, stripping it of that AOR sheen.
