A voice is a home

There are so many reasons to love this song. Great vintage rock n' roll groove. Louisiana roots. Dude playing the girl and frog parts with equal gusto (or at least the very fact that there is a frog part). Corey Haim singing along with it in the bathtub in The Lost Boys. Take your pick. But the best thing is that Mr. Henry seems pretty aware that these will be the best 2:20 of his life.
A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.
Music
Good people
