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 if mydland was still on a yamaha stage or on some variant of Bralove-era midi by now but it's beside the point. Is there much point to this outlaw dispatch, distilled and forever beautiful by its post-hiatus great slackening?Could be kinda like stella blue, ramble on rose in that it's a touching ode to nothing. Yet another tight version
