Could this have been the theme tune to Thelma & Louise? Fine story, ho-hum delivery which sounds like it was recorded in some lock-up without any soundproofing.

Sorry, we've just come to the end applause, so plainly this was a live recording.

As of 8/18/11, Sammy Llanas (vocals and guitar) has left the Bodeans. No reason given for his departure. Apparently, the remaining members ofthe band will continue. Stay tuned ...

I've been seeing BoDeans live for nearly 20 years.  They don't make it out to California as much as I would like, but it's always a great show.  In addition to working with Jackson Browne, they are on several tracks on Robbie Robertson's self titled album.

I love "Going Home" - such a heartbreakingly-beautiful story-song.  I bought "Joe Dirt Car" on a whim, and I love it. BoDeans are so amazing live - Sammy's passionate vocals have served him well. Jackson Browne enlisted him on "Miles Away" and that gravelly, almost snarly vocal adds volumes to the song.

BoDeans have a "recipe" for their music, and it works. When they wander, it still works, in different ways. I am a fan, and my only regret is that I've never seen them perform live.

Yeah, I heard Springsteen at first too. But the lead voice is a bit too light and high for Bruce these days. 

Nice song, but if these guys really do have the same arrangement for most of their songs...well, you can't farm that patch of land forever.

The Bodeans have written some of my favorite music, I love the tune Going Home, it's about
two mexican brothers who came to this country and gave their lives to make their families
lives better.  They have many more songs that I like as well.  If you like this song, you will
definitely like their other music. 

I thought is was Bruce Springsteen with vocals pitch modulated up a step and a half.

 I have to admit I know nothing of this group, or their work. They have a Petty, Byrds, sound on this tune.
Who are Llanas Samuel Neumann, and Kurt ?  Thanzz —— SOB

I've got Joe Dirt Car on CD and have been listening to it for a long time.  I absolutely love BoDeans.  Jackson Browne has Sammy on backup vocals on "Miles Away," for anyone who cares about trivia.  If you try to base your love or hate of BoDeans on their "Closer To Free" song from "Party of Five," lose that bias.  They have some incredible music - notably, "Naked," "Private Idaho," and, of course, the stuff on "Joe Dirt Car."  Google them, buy their stuff at Amazon.com, and then come back here and say that "Far, Far Away From My Heart" doesn't slice a hole in your soul...

Everly bros....sort of...easy 2 listen 2.....wake up lil suzie..weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! not worth the price/less u is a super fan

Check Amazon.com mp3 downloads. They aren't as sexy and current as Itunes, but their back catalog is excellent.

Enjoy the BoDeans, but not the nasally guy on lead vocals. Sorry, don't remember their names. This is about the best song he leads on, otherwise his songs on par with Fran Drescher doing Christmas Classics IMO....

Gotta say, I'm a fan of these guys!

ALWAYS a pleasure listening to these guys.

What a shame it's not on iTunes. I was all set to buy the album. Rats.

Nice live version of this vintage band. Nice to hear good music in live settings!

This is brilliant stuff! I had to drop what I was doing and go and have a look at the playlist. Sure enough, the BoDeans. I have to get this album!
