Arrowhead happens to be one of my favorite songs--of all time--but I love this version that Adam found. It has a different vibe from the studio version, and the tempo gives the song a greater sense of urgency than the studio version--closer to the version on Courier, but it seems even more hurried, and in tune (so to speak) with the narrator's running. The piano gives it a kind of a country sound and masks RS' guitar, but the virtuosity is worth it. Great version.

It's a bargain at 99 cents! For those of you who don't have "Shades of Black, Shades of Blue," it's available there too. Sandy S.
