Johnny Dowd has dug out an early version of Rhumba in the Park, a track from his Execute American Folklore album. This autobiographical plea about trying to connect with a girl and failing, even though he owns his own truck, is terribly sad. The vocals are a bit distant, but the electronics and chugging back beat are pretty much in place already.
Rhumba in the Park is a self-released single. Buy it from his website.
