Dance All Night!



This song is great for three reasons:

1. It has an amazing harmonica part that seems like it would be hard to replicate live, but doesn't really appear to be.

2. It's genre-transcendent. While it seems like a country song, as soon as I start to consciously categorize it as country, certain elements like the bass line and Ryan Adams' voice suddenly stick out as un-country.

3. Its title doesn't imply at all what the song will be like. In fact, it probably has the least Ryan Adams-ish title of any song, ever. Besides maybe In da Club.

Hey, you've got three strong main points there... you could write a five-paragraph essay on why this song is great. :)
