"I second that".

I've always dug this cut and will continue to dig it.
This song, makes me think of movie theme songs from the seventies. A tough guy that has done wrong by his girl, finally feels how much he love her, wandering the city in deep thought trying to find a way to express his love. the ambiance is mellow & madness, the flute, Johnny Graham on the axe.. nice.


I dug this up from Foley's http://www.smartalecmusic...rviews.htm Inner-views, an excerpt from Foley's interview w/Dunn.

LARRY DUNN : Just keepin' it real...

I had done some writing before I left Denver, nothing like the starship I was flying on then, on our first album with Columbia ( Last Days And Time ) I didn't really do any major writting outside of a bridge or 2 here.... an intro or so there, so I guess the real writing chops began on "Head To The Sky"



FOLEY : Aaaawww, man ...one word: "CLOVER"

LARRY DUNN : You know that tune never ceases to amaze me..... simply because of the way it happened !! Maurice & I were in the studio...

And, I just started playing some chords then next thing you know....

we had : "Clover"

it still blows me away how much people are feelin' that.


FOLEY : Shit....If U got EARS !!!

And, Johnny Graham's Solo ?!?!?!

WHAT ?!?!?!?



LARRY DUNN : "Whew.....Right ?"

And, by the time we got to "All N All " ?

IT WAS ON !!!! I had really learned & grown so much.... it was great checking out Charles Stepney & Maurice working in the studio. My writing , playing & production skills were being polished by working with some of the finest musicians in the world. On the "live" side , by this time we had it down to a science !

And, being "Musical Director" I really enjoyed helping to hook the various interludes, medleys, solo sections & just generally making sure that it was all "Trump Tight",

"WE REHEARSED OUR ASSES OFF" & Loved it... photo: CBS reocords



FOLEY : Aaaaaay.... it Sounded like it !!



LARRY DUNN : Oh, yeah we were firm believers that if someone was throwing down their hard earn duckets [ for a concert ], they better damm well get a show !
And, I mean..... in every since of the word !


You know what I'm sayin' ?!?!?

thanks for posting that interview!
