They'd also personified a folk-rock band and a country outfit – and both of these on the jig-a-twang guitar break on opener Stuck on the Treadmill – as well as a jazz trio, and if it sounds a mite fanciful to suggest three musicians can represent a swing orchestra, Thompson's guitar is well capable of conveying the sound and harmonies of an entire horn section. Cut to the jubilant final number of a six-song encore, Tear Stained Letter, and to these ears, the Cajun/R&B instrumentation of the original was somehow factored into the trio's version.
