2003?  Missed their time by thirty years, didn't they?

They often begin with the letter A.  I vote for the song Allison Road, by the Gin Blossoms.  When that was out I was stalking this waitress named Allison at this bar in Chicago.  I'd go there just to flirt with her.  Unfortunately, her boyfriend was the manager of the joint.

The only ones that don't get my fur up are probably "Amie," "Allison" and "Sweet Melissa."

Excellent album and band. Saw them open for Lucinda Williams about ten years ago.

The last physical CD I bought to date. Pretty darn good in its entirety. Really carries the mood & tone throughout.

I'll just dust off the Pentangle albums and send some lyrics your way.

I just discovered that the version of this song that I have on my MP3 player is a live, acoustic version - MUCH more powerful than the album version.

A "4" if there ever was one. Acceptable; no more, no less.

I'm a sucker for harmonies like this; also when two voices are in "unison", but an octave apart, like on some parts of this song. Very cool.

Well at least she didn't toss the baby off of the bridge into the Chattahoochie River or whatever the name of that bridge was.  Or did she?
