1. Hungover – Brandy Clark – Robert Christgau rates her very high indeed and while I don’t, it might be worth noting that the first time I heard of Miranda Lambert was in an XGau column (the first time I heard of Bright Eyes, Old 87’s and Jenny Lewis among any others), so I went back and listened again. Not bad – B+
2. Beautiful Dreamer – Jerry Lee Lewis – Jerry Lee sings Stephen Foster, what’s not to like? _ A-
3. Tonight I’ll Be Yours – Teddy Thompson – A Leonard Cohen cover. Hey, maybe I underestimate him? – B+
4. The Ghost Of You Walks – Richard Thompson – Full on masterpiece, if not his last one awful close to it – A+
5. Katie Queen Of Tennessee – Americana as bubblegum – B+
6. Careful You – TV On The Radio – A goodie off today’s release – B+
7. Married With Children – Noel Gallagher – yeah, Noel wrote em but he can’t sing em as well as his kid brother – B+
8. Under The Pressure – The War On Drugs – Man, did I miss it with these guys. An eight minute plus modern mood rock masterwork – A
9. Ladder Song – Bright Eyes – Good song, Lorde kills on it by the way – B
10 Neighbor Song – Lake Street Dive – The horns make it – B+
