Half As Crazy As Me

1. South Georgia Sugar Babe – Justin Townes Earle – “My baby, she’s half as crazy as me, and like I said it’s been a long time…”. The genes coming through, the flex of the writing muscle, and the long instrumental bridge, all comes together on an early minor classic – A

3. Pay In Blood – Bob Dylan – Another goodie off Tempest – B+

4. Rock N Roll Star (Demo) – Oasis – Loud and rough and melodic and brilliant and that is just the demo – A

5. New York Is Killing Me – Gil Scott-Heron – Always preferred him in theory rather than practice, but this is pretty terrific stuff even if he wants to leave us for Jackson, Tennessee – B+

6. My Life Is Good – Randy Newman – The King of extended irony at the top of his game – A

7. Komrades – Black wine – First song off the newbie is a terrific call to arms – A-

9. Girlfriend – Ty Seagull – Loud and fuzzy garage rocker – A-
