Capitol Theater

Cold Rain and Slow - very mellow cool version they seem to be tooling around the arrangement - Bobby and Keith standout on this one.

Intro is long and dreamy all Jer + Keith. Jerry and Donna's vocal work is lovely here.

Jazzy Jazz .... Donna's nicely in tune for a change.

This one's all country upfront and then country fried on the outro...nice! (source:CM)

They hit the groove on this one so Jerry can throw the nasty sauce on it. (source:CM)

If you like them dark and what a heavy weight Jer carries in the last verse.

Haunting is right - Jerry's fried out vox and string plucking is perfect for some opium den storytelling right here.....oh boy and does Brent add some sweet color to this.

Oh yeah Phil all over this and Brent hits the pipe organ and harpsichord effects so so nicely.

Can't really get over the Vince keyboard sounds of fiddles (?) not sure if it was his choice or Bralove serving them up at this time....sounds like a bad outtake of a Band tune. The jam that follows with Hornsby is totally worth a listen - unique play on TOO theme that is downright super.
