Sounds great coming after The Kinks, for sure! Love these iconic sonic connections! Pure tonic! But I gotta get this dang guide-book written! Hard to do, rocking around with RP blaring through the MacBook!

Apparently you're not in on the joke. That "wild geezer" is Wil Ferrell from SNL in a skit about Blue Oyster Cult |

There is something about his voice that makes me think of Jackson Browne.

That's a 9 for this track, and a 25 for the album.

Change of mind, I have given it a 1 in the interests of dragging its rating as low as possible for now.

You are being way too kind, this sort of rubbish should remain a well kept secret preferably from anyone outside of America. It is just so unbelievably bad I can't find words to describe it. A rating of 1 is too much so I shall leave it unrated until a minus 10 is introduced. |

First played on RP 9/04. Underplayed and almost underrated if'n you ask me! A solid 8!

If I were to make a list of my 10 favorite songs from the 90s this would almost definitely be on it. A true alt-country classic.

They don't call the genre Americana for nothing :) It is great stuff - drawing from an American culture which is not as likely to be exported to and hence appreciated in Australia. Imagine how Dave Graney might go down outside Australia... |

It's definitely you. And don't try to say you didn't ask for it.
