So what's next when we finally get down? Don't Bring Me Down, Down By The Seaside, Down to the Waterline, Down On The Corner, Down In The Boondocks, Down Under?

God yes. I also like to imagine an alternate universe where Rickie Lee Jones and Tom Waits are still together. And invite me to dinner once in a while.

I used to have this disc. It was stolen from my car and I never got around to replacing it but I always loved this track.

Oh wouldn't that be a hoot! The dinner music would be fantastic.

I absolutely LOVE the chorus on this song too!

It's not that it's horrible, but nothing about this song I seem to enjoy much.

Really interesting and innovative backing - I liked it a lot - can't quite pin down what the 'Bendy Banjo' sound's coming from - must do a search to find out.

What? You didn't know Amy Grant was Christian musician - yep, I'm assuming you missed the point of the post thinking that BHBB was listing great artisits, in which case you're right Amy Grant is a maggot-gag.

I can see that but Sam is not nearly as bad as some - Melissa Ehtridge is one of those emotive singers I just can't stand. She does it on EVERY song.

Didn't she used to own Sun Records and record Elvis and Johnny Cash and all those guys?

Actually, I'm indebted to RP for introducing me to both Sam Phillips and Patti Griffin. Love each of them.

Sam has the most erotic, hypnotizing, wonderful voice I've ever heard. To think that she started her career as a Christian singer is amazing. Keep playing all the Sam you have.

Didn't take much for Copans to bait you into that one did it? I can still hear the "duh" more than a year later.
