For my money, Johnette Napolitano is one of the best pop/rock vocalists of the past couple of decades. Rich voice, full of character. And James Mankey is one of those rare guitarists who has a sound and style uniquely his own, immediately recognizable. I like his playing a lot. Both were vital to the Concrete Blonde sound.

Bits of this guitar part (measures 2 & 4) are a bit tricky at first (at least they were for me).
