"Girl...Your rhythm section sure does swing"
It's not all marital
bliss and fun in the barn, however, we have some good old leery eyed
doggin' still ('Hey Sexy') a timely take on The Ramones
classic 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up' and the Steve Earle with a
spot of salt and salsa yearning in reflectiveness down Mexico way again on
'Everywhere I Go'. |

A
nicely titled second shot from our favourite ludicrously monickered sucker
sees him not so alone on the range this time 'round as he's rustled up
some compadres and laid it on more full band style than on 'The Sauce'.
And it's all the better for it, recalling even more the finest Supersuckin'
moment known to man so far...yuss cowgrim pill-popper, that be 'Must've
Been High'...The opening 'awww shucks, I lurve ya honeeeeeee' shuffles
of 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You' and 'All
Along' has it all brought (trotted?) home on some sweet slide n'
pedal steel. Who'd a ever thought old Mr Ed the talking, singing can of
pasta n' sauce would make some stoopid doofus dollop of love, put it all
in a simple song and honk it out hard so that every son of a bitch,
starter pistol cap gun would be crying into his tea and chili, eh? Wonders
never cease, and so long as he keeps on doing this sorta timeless country
crock o' rockabilly with a punk edge, as on the sleeping under the rail
bridge after the lady thrown you out again to be like the tramp you just
called her take of old Capt Cash's 'Without Love', dunking it in
barrel-chested Telecaster twanging riffs like fish into a deep-fat fryer
as on the 'Born To Cry' while reading 'The Letter'
skiffle slop of 'Carry Me Home' then we is all and every
goddamned one of us onto something of a winner. Anyone who doesn't melt at
the hard won realization and goofily grinned joy of 'People think it's
funny that me and my honey always gotta be side by side / But that's
what's made us happy All along' is one cold tin o' beans, man. Shimmery
beauty that old Gram himself woulda wept at and sung sweet with
Miss EmmyLou.
