Scottish singer-songwriter Daniel Wylie -- formerly of Cosmic Rough Riders & mastermind of the stone cold classic folk-rock album Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine -- has done it again. He's released the "must-hear song of the week" -- "Let Go Of The Gun (Year of the Tiger)." Co-written with his friend Ian M Bailey, this mid-tempo rocker has the best elements of The Byrds circa Notorious Byrds Brothers, Arthur Lee's Love, lush Beatle harmonies, a searing '60s psych-jangle guitar solo, and smart lyrics. 

"Trips to the sun

Let go of the gun

Explosions that you fear

Are love bombs that you hear

Don't be deceived

By strange things that you see

Nothing is real

Not even what you feel

 

I hear her calling my name

I don't wanna go there again

I feel like I'm going insane

It's the year of the Tiger again, oh yeah

 

Trips to the moon

Luna in full bloom

She's closer than the sun

So let go of the gun

 

I hear her calling my name

I don't wanna go there again

I feel like I'm going insane

It's the year of the Tiger again, oh yeah"
