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

rose petal inaugural summertime cryptical, Classical suite treatment with full throttle laid back drip during faster we go and a really sweet unique melodic jam to follow. Greek magic

I'm really into this one. The transition is like the seven dwarves, headlamps on forging a new way for snow white to make out with some leather clad OG head biking into the sunset. This one cleans it up... Motorboat elegies of heroic weave on FOTM. Mydland kills it through the pairing, great broad voicings and creative filling in

Brief but spot on. Barnburning kindness into promised land.
