Looks Like Rain

Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

gobsmackingly propulsive, stands with the best, most fluid and excitingly spritely stranger jams. Must-hear.

Deep stormy spirals, this one has that chaotically unhinged mid-80's sound in spades. Disney villain jort shorts yelp production number tenacity with sleazy menthol and a double johnnie walker clouds of hazy passion.

slinky but it gets the job done. Mall of america levels of emphatic sheen on this mothership two-keyboard set

Serious midnight hour theatrics into this cresting soaring tornado of an Ivy league autobahn bertha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAKxhR9_3fw seamons mtx slaps
Eyes Of The World

Ah the welnik years... edge of the cliff still lifes. Cruising altitude of street corner smokin. Surahs of glintingly salted wound fractures of unselved memory so as to be taken from recitation of the Qu'ran. Or was it just a folk musician from the bay area who broke on through? Hornsby woodshedding on this one puts the whole cast up to new stories, transcendence and Enya meets Shania Twain plinky plonky take this one to type 2. Just as nice as 6/17/91 or 6/11/93, restored to a glorious utopian stillness of icy arrhythmias or was it just a robin's tone widening and diminishing. Raise it up for a fun injection of pastoral hobbit jumpies

gorgeously swimming through adriatic unpaid vacation, blowing off taxpeople with methodical disarray. Portrays dylan's frantic typewriter melee of dolce vita with cargo shorts sandals and an ipa 90s vibe. Accordion and jerry soars
