.. and before anyone jumps to the conclusion I'm dissing Steve Gibbons...

I bought his single "Tulane" and probably an LP or 2 back in the 70s...

The random live track I heard on streaming radio could be how he ended up sounding all the time back in the early 80s,
or, if I give him benefit of the doubt, a self aware parody for just that song
of English singers puttting on an exagerated yank rock n roll voice...

Whatever.. it still sounds cack nearly 40 years later...
