YES Atari, that song is incredible, yet not even top 3 on that album amazingly!

Colton, idk how many times/how closely you’ve listened to this but you really should pay attention to the guitar work, lots of really interesting interplay between the twin electric leads, plus other neat details like the subtle accordion in the right channel toward the middle of “Ft. Walton Wake-Up Call”.

"yet not even top 3 on that album amazingly!"



that seems hard to believe, but we'll see what multiple listens reveal! this one's gonna be hard to top for me.. Jackie is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life



Colton you're such a buzzkill, lol

Imo that’s not really the best way to approach this kind of music Colt, but if it’s boring to you, far be it from me to tell you you’re wrong.

Atari, “Copper Canteen”, “You Got To Me”, and “Carlisle’s Haul” are my top 3 on CG, but “Long Island Sound” is a close fourth and a 5/5 song (that album is a 5 for me overall too). If you want to hear another real huge stunner try “Lights of Cheyenne” off his live album. Love that 5 by the way!

"Copper Canteen" is an amazing song. Still need to listen to his other albums some more, though.

There's not much movin' on the romance radar

Not that I'm cravin' it all that much

But I still need to feel, every once in a while

The warmth of a smile and a touch...

I like the lyrics and the occasional line here is outstanding - think I have a way to go before I totally bond with him as a narrator, getting closer though

Damnit. I picked this up, confusing him with James Vincent McMorrow.
