An interesting question that goes beyond the Poll which nevertheless is a good indication too. The problem with such a Poll is that you have to name one particular tune even if you like more than one and even if there is not one weak track. Anyway, here we go.
My first choice is EASY, followed by RIVER STREET. EASY is the only track on Timeless which somehow stands outside the standard Bushburys tunes. A fine uptempo smashing simple pop tune. I hope it became a standard for the current setlist. It was played live on special request when I saw them live last year and it was done very powerful. In fact it cost Mickey some wood of his drum sticks!!! If there is one song that could make it into the charts, then it would be EASY.

Exactly the opposite is RIVER STREET. A typical Eddie Morton tune nice, quiet singing and when it's over it's fun to press back to listen to it yet another time.

What else? "Howling", not as good as the version from the live album. The "Hidden track". A great experiment. More of it. "Rage Johnny Rage" well we had this before too. I don't know if it's a good idea to re-record songs which previously have been released on an official Live album.
General: No false note. Very laidback drums. A fiddle that is not used in the traditional style and much more used as a n group instrument rather than for solo work!!! (I like that). And finally "Timeless", a title track and it got only one hit at the Poll. Rather strange but probably only because the other tracks are so strong.

P.S.
Jane, what's your opinion?
