Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Illinois (Selsky/Dunkle)
Reviewer: Evan Zappa & The Necessity
Positive Comments: Great energy and power in this track. I can feel the strength of the great instrumentation. Guitar playing is particularly stellar.
Constructive Comments: Difficulty understanding the lyrics. Is that Ella Donna – isque or Ella Donna – esque or something else? Trouble understanding meaning of the lyric “your freight train takes me home” Is “Ella Donna” a woman and “your freight train takes me home” a line intended to mean that the writer has fallen in love with this woman and when they make love it feels to him like a freight train taking him home? If so, i’m not sure this imagery works for me lyrically.
