On first listen I find that a bit high. I'm often not won over by duets, and this one really does not work for me.
Maybe I'll mellow to it after a couple more listens.

I like the bluesy, edgy aspects, got some Lucinda Williams to her voice (just nowhere near as good) - a solid "6"

I have noticed that, with some obvious exceptions, women don't rate as highly as men 'round these parts.  I've also noticed the same when it comes to "black" films at imdb, but that's another issue.

I give it a solid 8 for, as someone else mentionned, very nice slow groove.

reminds me of more than a few benders. - 8 for accuracy and maybe another for that slow groove

I kinda like where they're going with it, but the vocals are a little too Rickie Lee Jones for my tastes.  A 5 for now.

Trying to think here.... didn't she write a song that Nanci Griffith did so well?  Hate getting old, the memory is hovering around just out of reach...

It has a Gulf Coast vibe to it.

It's GREAT to hear Julie & Buddy Miller on RP. We used to play them
all the time at the now defunct WRVG radio station. Thanks Bill!

Julie and husband/producer/collaborator Buddy Miller took top honors at the Americana Awards this year for their album Written in Chalk. Their devotion to creativity, originality and experimentation in songwriting and production shares a level of competence and passion with Beck.

I got no use for what you say
i ain't your straight man no more today
take your promise out with the trash
from now on boy we just take cash

the cows lay down when it's gonna rain
you come around and it's a hurricane
you say it's bad luck baby but i know it's cocaine

blood is red money is green
sugar is sweet and you are mean
you were my angel at the start
but your strange lover took away your heart

the cows lay down when it's gonna rain

what goes on in your head
you keep this up you'll be dead
don't hit on me to put up your bail
you're better off right there in jail

Interesting song.
Not sure if I'm a fan of the whiney voice though.
