This is a great, great album. One of my favorites. Not a filler track on it + Eurotrash girl as a bonus! I always wonder why the remaining body of there work did not reach quite the same level.

I was lucky enough to see David Lowery and Johnny Hickman do this on a small stage with 200 people in the audience. Close enough to see them sweat. Awesome night at Swallow Hill Music.

Encore un groupe influencé par Bob Dylan. Le solo est proche du gimmick de Knockin' On Heanven's Door.

I'm tired. Going away now.
Cynaera! Stingray is one of RP's biggest supporters, I believe! Please don't wish him (or her) away!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! (Obviously, I don't know, but one wonders…) |

"A follow-up to their debut masterpiece, this collection brings more electric guitar-work to the mix in a way reminescent of Keith Richards and Mick Taylor. Full of catchy riffs, a stellar rythtym section, and open-throttle vocals, this melodic work represents what a four-piece rock band is all about. "Nostalgia" captures the wonder of the space age in an upbeat, contagious, guitar-woven gem. The intros to "Take Me Down To The Infirmary" and its sister song "I Want Everything" are beautifully sculpted phrases for which the Gibson Les Paul was created to inspire. The fun secret track #69, "Eurotrash Girl", is a live favorite. Three chords never sounded so good as in "Get Off This". David Lowery and Johnny Hickman harmonize to like a boy-girl team adding another sweet dimension to their songs."

Ok, maybe not that bad, and Cracker do some other excellent stuff, but this is pretty Ho-Hum by their standards. 4 from the Nottingham jury. |

I'm not sure why I like this. Just had a huge argument with my brother regarding whether the Derek Trucks Band would fit at the Elko Motorcycle Jamboree, and then it went into why the Jamboree started as a grass-roots gathering and has now become governed by the city, with rules and regulations and high fees... Fire bad. Tree pretty. I love the Derek Trucks Band. And I love this song, because it has the same resonance, the same melancholy hope. I can't write more on this... I just know it feels good for me, right now.  |

A supreme record all of the way through. Unfortunately they do not play in Western Canada nearly enough. I love these guys.

One of my favourite "Cracker" songs. I like specially the guitar solo, but it has something special, I don´t know why. maybe this middle tempo, maybe the lyrics, maybe...I don´t know. |

Making a road trip in a couple weeks to see them in Detroit. At some place called "Magic Stick?" Should I be concerned? :^)
