Hmmmmm... Don's vocal is great, as usual, but I'm not sure about the arrangement and instrumentation. This is a guitar song. As much as I admire the brass section for attempting the solo note-for-note, and they did well, it just didn't sound right. I also missed the harmony parts on the original record. The lead vocal in the chorus sounded lonely without it.
For the record, I love the acoustic HFO treatment of the song, including the spanish guitar intro. For me, it's like the original, only acoustic. And perhaps even more difficult to play acoustically than on electric guitars. It was a fantastic effort.
