The one with southern comedy records for example - they should have just done a serious analysis on Jerry Clower instead.<BR/><BR/>At Dawn is probably my preferred album of theirs, and "Run Thru" and "One Big Holiday" off It Moves are their finest hours<BR/><BR/>And I think that the album that gets me into a band is my favorite.

I'm trying to figure out if the OA music issues have become less interesting, or if music doesn't mean things to me in the same way it used to (not mean more or less, just mean different things, or mean the same things differently). I find that I still think Tennessee Fire is my favorite MMJ album, but I hate to say that because I don't want to be that indie rock guy who only likes the first album by any given band.Prof Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13730885955983198465noreply@blogger.com
