This is my all time favorite album by anyone…ever…period. This album is a slice of southern discontent, youthful angst and drunken brevity. This is the album that kicked my ass in the first year of college and has continued to kick it ever since. It’s too personal a record for my usual four paragraph synthesis. Buy this record, listen to it alone….fall back in love with life.
