Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

not sure how i missed this one... what a year for he's gone! Essen/rockpalast. Nassau. Amsterdam. this tune was a big part of all of those triumphs... and this one is really tight and jazzy in its own right, again every aspect of this one shines and glistens. such a tasty, gentle pastel hand-ground blend.

combustible. Confessional booth rager.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

sun just came out, reaching for another american spirit and another dash of 81 love this time a spicy elm city Scarfire.. i just spent a year in nhv and was really stoked about catching phil with john scofield, john medeski and warren haynes... point being they love CT and this is yet another writhing embryonic egg of jerry's musical project with this song. Pre-transition alone is samurais at work
