Listen to this...

Do you hear that fantastic bass line? Do you? It's one of my favorites ever...

That bass line... is all Duck Dunn. Normally, this kind of stealing borrowing bothers the bejeezus out of me¹. For some reason, when I heard this song from this as-yet-pretty-small band from Portland, Oregon I was not irritated... I smiled with pride. Pride? Is that the right word. Perhaps admiration is better. I admired that they found such thrill in Duck's bass line... and made use of it. Especially when I read their bio and the credit accurately given².

Don't worry, The Shaky Hands have their own tricks up their sleeves too, not everything is borrowed from the beauty of Stax³.

¹ See Jens Lekman.
² Who knows, maybe I would be less irritated with Jens Lekman had he credited the Left Banke.
