When you get to Farnham, check him out on his own, especially his rendition of the Beatles' "Help," which he's made his own. There's a reason he's called "The Voice." My fave LRB track is "Help Is On Its Way," which I'm sure you'll review next. ;)

It was Wayne Nelson the Bass guitarist in the band that sung this with Glen Shorrock coming in on the chorus. After Glen left LRB , John Farnahm joined the band for a while until he went solo. As a point of interest John had s stellar career in Australia andWayne Nelson played in many of Johns live concerts through the 80's and 90's. I think you have done one of Johns songs already, you should do more, but stay with the live concerts they are so much better.
