“It’s not really pop anymore when Deacon John do it,” vocalist/guitarist Deacon John Moore declares with a laugh referring to his brand new video and recording.

I'm just listening to the DDIO cover now and I'm actually really liking it. I say "actually" because I do not like most of the covers I have heard. This has the musical complexity of the original, good singing, real instruments well played, and doesn't feel overproduced.

The big choruses singing are a nice touch.
