I remember when this song and the others from The Lonesome Jubilee were on rock radio, late 80s, this song specifically seems JCM was lowering the anger and attitude in his music and going for a more inner-searching sound, if that makes sense. Check It Out is so melancholy... Heard this today, first time in a while, and it never fails to make me happy with a tinge of sadness, which I feel is the point of the song in a way - we laugh and have good times, but question if we could be better people. Brilliant, one of his best, maybe my fave from JCM, along with Minutes To Memories and Crumblin' Down.
