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

whew this version rules. Exactly the kind of down-home low-stakes fun that you need after that DS and Sing me back home.

Yeah sure i'll take those Mydland era deals over the slow early ones. But this one fucking rules like the rest of this iconic 10/10 show
