| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: May 24, 2011 - 08:50 Lack of water....gotta free myself... Lack of water....where is some beer... Lack of water...oh please help... Lack of water...get me out of here... Yuck.  |
| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Apr 12, 2011 - 13:21 Sorta sounds a little like Peter Murphy. Anyone else hear that influence in the lead vocal?...mostly in the verse. |
| PeeBee (Down South in The Netherlands) | Posted: Mar 12, 2011 - 01:07 This voice reminds me of the FYC. |

And scary, too. I really have a tough time with "projections" because even with so many things factored in, the results cannot be guaranteed. I've decided I like this song a lot - reminds me a bit of Pure Prairie League or Outlaws. Good schtuff.  |
| shampa1n (Solent) | Posted: Jan 22, 2011 - 15:05 Lovely g tar |
| MJdub (California) | Posted: Jan 18, 2011 - 14:59 I thoroughly enjoyed that guitar solo! Great style. |

It sounds vaguely similar to other groups I've heard, but it also stands on its own merits. I don't like the fade, though - it's as if one of the band members did the throat-cut gesture because of a broken string or a bad vocal or egotistical boredom... I really need to go away from here, because I'm thinking too hard... |

| planetclare | Posted: Nov 16, 2010 - 11:32 Why does this always remind me of Tom Jones..? |

Well, actually California takes more water than LV. And I dont think they are growing corn in the SJ valley -they mostly grow other vegtables |

| ddbz (The Midwest) | Posted: Jun 14, 2010 - 07:50 If you like this, try to find the first two albums, these over-produced versions are.....over-produced....there are a bunch of other good songs by this band if you want to look.... this happens to be one of my favorites. |
| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Jun 14, 2010 - 07:46  Walter's right here! There's no lack of him ... except on Shabbos. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: May 30, 2010 - 18:44 It's the water, the water, the water - that makes Olympia beer.....  Serously - I like this song, but it leaves itself open for SO many dumb jokes... |

If you think water regulation and rationing isn't a coming trend, just read this . You're not paranoid if the sh*t really is hitting the fan.  |

| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: May 27, 2009 - 07:25 Wow, pretty nice guitar solo - kind of startled me. |
| etcarroll (stuck among the Amish) | Posted: Apr 29, 2009 - 15:29 Lyrics not working for me, but the guitar work has my foot tapping. A -7-. Did you all know - "that the harp is a predecessor of the modern day guitar. Early minstrels were much larger people. In fact, they had hands the size of small dogs." Time for another Yuengling. |
| LowPhreak (Earth (for now)) | Posted: Apr 15, 2009 - 07:44 Yeah...GEEtar! |

Can't drink Bud any more, but I'll have a go at a Guinness or any ol' IPA without hesitation...  Oh, and to Darkmatter , the lead is the only real Knopfleresque part of the tune, mostly thanks to the matching reverb...IMHO If you're a fan of IPA, try the Stone Brewing Co. Ummm-ummm good!  |
