The River’s Edge, a nostalgic look back by Brendan McMahon

McMahon delivers the sunny story with a songwriter’s conviction letting the arrangement unfold from an unpretentious vocal introduction to a smoldering full band ending. The song begins with guitars played by Simon Hosford and Danny Spencer with single pedal steel notes added by Shane Riley. Soon enough Peter ‘Maz’ Maslen enters with sidestick and simple kick drum, toms filling the holes anchored with Jason Vorherr on bass and Jack Earle simmering on keyboards.
