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

patient and magical!!! zero in on anyone at any point and they're totally zigzagging through moonlit amethyst caves. Continues the sailor theme as we learn of the ballad of carlysle. you can practically feel the brittle yellow leaves of papyrus in a precious codex as you turn the pages of the lugging leatherbound edition in the best terrapins and this one is buoyant and jazzy. wanders and basks... Close your eyes. You are at a bong party with a dozen other resident high school hippies in the bathroom of an amtrak with wall street bros queuing up the aisle. "The train's put its brakes on, and the whistle is screaming terrapin....." goopy coda

track that was played continually lesser in the intervening decades nonetheless so many gems in that rarefied crew, add this yamaha stage piano and amped up accompanied spectrum 82 juggernaut, sooo killing. Dance floor jousting with devils and weir whipping up souffle

continues the trillion dollar set with aplomb. Lots of attention to group blend yields marvellously deep groove. Lots of chaw slingin' porch dip spittin' to the point of camp, can't look away type beat. The embryonic, experimental period of the controversial "short shorts blues" slot. In my eyes it was sometimes filler but often would allow the instrumentalists to shake off the dust. Tiger totally flies on this one, great pick!!!!!
