I have a submission to the RickResource Forum from an artist that I think you will enjoy.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify the RRF singer-songwriter who is performing this song and at the same time to identify his influences. Your thoughts with regard to the song are welcomed at this time.
So what is Cub Hitty's real name, who do you suppose were his influences and what is this song about.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Singer I.D. no idea
Group I.D. no idea
Influences: Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Gary Louris, perhaps (from the Jayhawks). I think I hear something of Gordon Lightfoot's band. (Think of "If You Could Read My Mind")
Give us a hint, Peter. Canadian? American? Could be from Oz, but I don't think so. Could be from the UK. Again, I don't think so.

Thanks Jim. You pull out into the lead with two points for identifying two correct influences.
Scoring, influences seven points, singer-songwriter two points and one point for the theme for a total of 10.

It sounds like his speaking voice but I don't dare guess that it's PW our curmudgeon?

Hmm... I found the vocals "Daltryesque" at times, which had the piece reminding me of The Who. My only other guess is that the artist in not American.
