This is an interesting song by Neil. It’s about his amazing come back in the early 70s after years in the wilderness. For those who weren’t around, or are not up on their pop/rock music history, the British rock invasion of 1964 virtually ended the chart success of the majority of US pop/rock musicians/bands who had enjoyed big record success prior to the arrival of The Beatles, The Stones etc. Even a giant like Roy Orbison, who had his biggest hit “ Pretty Woman” in 1964, would have to wait until the late 1980s until his next top 20 hit. BTW, As far as I can ascertain, Neil wrote the music and lyrics to this song. The Come Back Kid.
