Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

definitive 3.0 this chunky and jazzy Wharf. deranged shooting star snarler jog through dive bars

Slaying. Phil bombs. Throat-slicing intensity on the chorus. And the solo is flaming. Perfect early loser

the live LP version, from my birthday show. Seminal for this era. you can blast this and just explode into country-fusion craziness!! Quite the version.

Clean, lean, pristine. Chomp on the radiation, the alignment, of this.

We're back in 1973 now, opening the night with a heady Cumberland. Quality is pretty shitty for some reason as others have noted but come on, hot version!!!!!
