"Companion (Lay Me Down)" - Wide Mouth Mason
While most would think this pick is made in relation to Valentine's Day, you are partially right! But I have to admit that Wide Mouth Mason wrote tons of great songs, Companion has always been my favourite. The song opens with an awesome guitar lick and builds nicely with the rhythm section joining in a few measures later. What jumps out at first was a nice laid back tune but with each listen I notice how talented this band really was musically. The drum beat is of the charts original and fits although it seems to work off the timing of the guitar lick. As songwriters Wide Mouth Mason were always solid but couldn't keep the success that made them big. Even after a switch on bass they never were the same again, even though this tune will be on my playlists! Enjoy!!
