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..

facts, many from these years are beautiful. Lesh and jerry ventriloquist netflix special intro. both are lapping up this show musically, Jer turning on cowboy chops. This one swirls and roars with a glacial ease akin to the offbeat soothing nature of the indie pop of the years to come.
