About this song: Good Company

"Good Company" was written and sung by Brian May. All vocals are by May, who also plays a ukelele, not to be confused with the George Formby Ukelele-Banjo (also known as banjolele) that he'd used one year previously in 'Bring Back That Leroy Brown'. The recording is remarkable for featuring an elaborate recreation of a Dixieland-style jazz band, produced by May using his Red Special guitar, along with various forms of effects processing.
