This is by far my favorite of all Doug's albums. There is nothing but true talent here. A man that has a gift for music and lyrics both.

A blend of Seal, Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell
author: Gary Arthur Brown
Psychedelia, folk, and a slight, endearing groove. This is “IS YOU” in a nut shell. Can you imagine? If you can, go ahead and imagine Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell on the same spaced out trip as ’68-era Brit-heads like the Pretty Things or Syd Barrett. It’s arty and soothing, like a Picaso Smoothie® at an AOR dance party. All in all, a really decent track.
The serenity begins with some folk-heavy guitar strumming and plunky leads that make you want smoke Grass™ despite all the straight-edge tattoos you’ve gotten during your stupid and squandered youth. Casperish, ghostly vocal harmonies fill out this warm musical mindscape. Dig in a little deeper and you’ll hear the esoteric lyrics calling you to your eternally blissful state of PSYCHEDELICIZING in a hammock beside strawberry fields forever.
This song fits right in on the great album that is Classic Rock, blending conventional and unconventional influences and tones into a Tapestry, much like Carole King. Except, Doug Cash is a man. An interesting and talented specimen of a man.
I like this song, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna go around choppin’ me head off over it. That would be bloody shameful. I will instead honor my liking of this song by continuing to live out my days, drinking Pepsi ® brand products, eating Italian coldcuts from Serra Brothers’™ Italian Deli, and watching The Simpsons . Thank you.
"I'm gonna teach you a lesson you'll never remember."
