I think this song has moved from "instant love" to "perfect love".  It is my favorite from Tracker - which says a lot, since there are so many beautiful songs to treasure.

Very modern Springsteen like - and the sax is very like later period Clarence Clemons - compare this song to Clemons solo on something like Secret Garden - very very similar! Very nice song from Mark.

My thought too :)
It's the end of a perfect day..,.

I love how the horn section seems to imitate fog horns.

Yup!!!  It's very nicely done - very rich sounding.  I feel I am on the river when I hear the horns.

After the sax break (or solo) there is a guitar sound from MK which appears later in the outro again - has a very Daniel Lanois sound feeling to me -
and I cannot remember having heard that guitar sound before on any MK recording. Could some guitar freak work out what guitar that might be or tell me anything about it?

I do not listen to Tracker on a daily base anymore BUT I manage to listen to River Town and Mighty Man at least once a day.. my absolute favourite tracks!

I'm taking a wild guess at the Strat with the Seymour Duncan lipstick-pickups he got for the Dylan tour. Sounds glassy :)

New song "Thinking of a Place" by The War on Drugs really reminds me of this one. It's lovely and the two really flow together nicely. Would love for MK to take a more atmospheric/ambient approach on songs like these some day  :think

A nice comparison... If Guy will gain even more power I'm sure he would convince Mark to do a song like this ;D
