Jay Ferguson (1976) Snakes on the Run

With a danceable bass line and accompanying acoustic guitar and piano this is off of Jay Fergusons' first solo album, All Alone in the End Zone, this is pre Thunder Island's vivid yacht rock and post Jo Jo Gunne's countrified boogie. It is actually a really good example of mid-70's soft rock when the country elements were replaced with disco and soul. Also check out the track Hit and Run; which is surely a contender for the title for 'most 70s sounding song ever' with its mix of Hard rock syncopations, Moog laden prog passages, rhythm guitar driven funk all mixing with singer songwriter piano.
