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

sooooooo verrryyy niccceeee. If you thought "sailor/saint" was under-played, wait till you get a load of this refined dollop of psych-pop that was played 3 times. Dripping with raw Hunter at his most plaintive and non-metaphorical. Straight-up humanness.
