I agree with Keith on this one. ya, Prince (or whatever he calls himself these days or whatever stupid unpronounceable symbol he uses) can play a zillion instruments; whatever; he's not a blues player or blues musician. generally, I am repulsed by anybody that uses 'words' like 'U' (you) and '2' (two) in a song title. just use the real goddamn words already. i&#

KR is on the right and MT on the left with headphones on, on the one I downloaded. Seems like all is well in the world to me . I do agree MT is a little lower in the mix. Charlie's drums have reverb or something, which is a little weird, and takes some getting used to.

Angie is a great song. The GHS version is great, so is the Brussels one. (just differently played and arranged). The suspended chords on GHS give it that certain dreary feeling, the G-sus and F-sus. I've always liked that sound in the song. I don't know technically what a suspended chord is or means, but I know they sound good at certain times; you only need ears for that, not technical
