FARM GIRL kicks off this album with some very clever lyrics and a laid back melody that will spark your interest to hear more. His accent is truly amazing to hear. Great song. MOOO-NITE YODEL is quite great to hear as he just seems to flow away in this song. The song is played simple as his vocals will surely get to you. So, can you yodel? He sure can. I love it.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRITE is a great fast tempo song as the band is spot on. You could easily listen to this song as it has a bit of a bayou taste to it, which I love hearing. Check it out. BOUNCIN' THE BUGGY is a super song and you can guess what it's about. I love the uptempo. bouncy melody to this song as the lyrics say it all. Need I say more? What a gem.
JESSICA BLUE [Alternate take] is a song where he does it all and this song has a great amazing raw sound, which you rarely hear anymore. He really outdid himself on this one. Listen closely. NEW JERUSALEM brings an end to this epic artist. This song has a super great melody and lyrics you could sing along to. You rarely hear music like this anymore. Superb.
