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

Needs votes and a lot of them. It's not a top 1 dew but it's absolutely heartbreaking. https://youtu.be/JZKTfh0cGpY hazard comes through again

this one has a lot in the tank. Notes per minute count is impressive.
