It's a great song with a very unique and positive vibe. The lyrics are really good too, because the imagery throughout the song is really good and well written.
A great song by one of the best guitarists.

Rory Gallagher - Laundromat

This is a live performance from Irish blues guitarist Rory Gallagher. The performance is from '71, and Rory plays the song "Laundromat" from his debut solo album released in 1971.
It's a great simple blues shuffle song, with a lot of amazing lead licks by Gallagher. The tempo and speed of the song also kinda makes it sound a little like a ZZ Top song, not completely similar, the riff does resemble ZZ Top's "La Grange" a little bit.
It has a great groove and it's a great performance.
