This CD has several tasty tunes -- like this one. "Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name."

Actually, almost all of the people from Kentucky whom I've met are very nice, with one major exception (Oh Carla Curry, you know it's true). I've never been to the Bluegrass state but I'm sure it's a great place. What's with the dental deficiency, though?
The dental issues are usually related to income. The more rural a place is, the lower the average income, and most employers don't provide dental coverage. With a few exceptions, food in some areas of Appalachia falls into 3 categories. Sweet, salty, and mushy. There is a good chance that everything fixed in that area will exist in at least one of those categories. |

Literally the only Ben Harper song I have ever liked. True story.  |

Coming in a stretch of impressive Guitar Numbers, this one still rocks pretty solidly!

I like Justified too, thanks to RP I now know who's responsible for the theme. My only problem with Justified; I sometimes have to pause, rewind, turn it up and play it back a few times so I decipher what the hell they are all talking about. No wait. its these guys. |

The accent isn't too bad, but most of the main characters are way too eloquent for your normal KY resident. 2) Everyone has all their teeth. This isn't a stereotype here, this is reality.

But hey, this is from a guy who still loves to hear 'Freebird'. I know, I know.
I'm with cc. my, i am old, and this track is fine, but Ben is no comparison with LS. Having seen them 3 times in small auditoriums before the tragedy, they were ever so impressive in person. I believe they actually opened for Marshall Tucker 1 show, and they just rocked the house. Great live band, and tight. |
