I feel almost completely the opposite! Can't leave this set. Although in the case of the Eagles that was NOT because I actually liked the song! All the others are absolutely great. And yes I agree, this one could be played more. |

AAAARRRRGH. I can't handle it any more. From John Prine to Eagle (Last Resort) to Billy Bragg/Wilco (California Stars) and now this slow, twangy Dave Alvin song. I need to go find some rock and roll to compensate for today's Radio Paradise.

Man, I love Dave Alvin! Can't wait to see him this Sunday at the Palms Playhouse in Winters.

Excellent sequence - great songs of California. Eagles, Billy Bragg/Wilco/Guthrie and Dave Alvin - all winners. Now how about Lucinda Williams "Here in California" and Basia Bulat "Gold Rush" and Kristy Kruger's "Gold Rush" — don't let the ladies be represented by that awful Tunstall.

The one, the only, the Dave Alvin. Great slow acoustic rendition of "Border Radio" on this album, especially for those familiar with the Blaster's rockabilly version. The whole album is just one of the great "Americana" albums of all time.

Saw Dave and the Guilty Women twice last year. First time was a free concert at an outdoor venue. Next was at the Duck Room in St. Louis. It was the last night of the first leg of their tour. So they were pretty laid back and having fun. Both great shows.

Bill, thank you for playing this!
Dave is, without a doubt, one of America's best songwriters and performers. Shameful that he does not get more play on commercial radio, but RP provides me with a fix rather frequently.

Dave is a real master, and a class act to boot. From The Blasters to X, he has shone like a diamond.  |

But my darling dear, please have no fear
For I think that it’s fair to warn you
That I return to claim your hand
As the King of California

Thanks to whoever submitted this one. I know Dave Alvin is not going to be for everyone, but I love this whole CD.
