Summary

Set outside, this cover performer brings out an organic, natural take on the 80s synth pop hit by playing it on his dulcimer. Enjoyable listening--if a little one dimensional--but worth noting is it attracted the interest of the Tears For Fears frontman himself. Likely the highest compliment of all.
