Mention the Wurlitzer and Hammond Organ and instantly you know there&#8217;s going to be a sixties vibe to this track, and indeed, it&#8217;s got the hallmarks of The Grateful Dead&#8217;s &#8216;Uncle John&#8217;s Band&#8217;, or Crosby Stills Nash &amp; Young&#8217;s &#8216;Teach Your Children&#8217; &#8211; if only slightly. It&#8217;s confessional and conversational, with Tracy laying bare his own flaws and failings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video is also no-frills and down to earth, with Tracy wandering through the woods, as much a part of nature as the trees, underbrush and rivers that run past him. It&#8217;s the perfect soundtrack to a time of thought provoking solitude, interrupted only by Tracy&#8217;s effusive guitar solo midway through the track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about the mystery that is Mother Yeti from their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/Mother_Yeti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter account<\/a>.
